Evaluation of diagnostic agreement between STANDARD E TB-Feron ELISA and TB-Feron FIA for tuberculosis infection in prison settings in Paraguay

The STANDARD F TB-Feron FIA demonstrated excellent concordance with ELISA, supporting its use as a reliable alternative for TB infection screening. In addition, the FIA offers key operational advantages, including reduced hands-on time (approximately 15 min compared with several hours for ELISA), the ability to process single samples without batch runs, and the use of portable equipment requiring less laboratory infrastructure, making it particularly suitable for decentralized and resource-limited settings.

Abstract

The STANDARD F TB-Feron FIA demonstrated excellent concordance with ELISA, supporting its use as a reliable alternative for TB infection screening. In addition, the FIA offers key operational advantages, including reduced hands-on time (approximately 15 min compared with several hours for ELISA), the ability to process single samples without batch runs, and the use of portable equipment requiring less laboratory infrastructure, making it particularly suitable for decentralized and resource-limited settings.
