New landmark TBESC study demonstrates the benefits of TB blood tests

Largest-ever US study on TB testing confirms benefits of IGRAs

The recent publication of the largest-ever US study comparing the use of TB blood tests (IGRAs) to the tuberculin skin test (TST) reaffirms current guidance regarding the preferred use of IGRAs for at-risk populations (1).

Including more than 20,000 participants across 10 US sites, the landmark US CDC-funded Tuberculosis Epidemiologic Studies Consortium (TBESC) study demonstrates that TB blood testing more accurately identifies latent TB among non-US-born individuals that have received the BCG vaccination, compared to TST.
