Disease Activity Is an Important Factor for Indeterminate Interferon-gamma Release Assay Results in Children With Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Original language description
Background:Interferon- release assay (IGRA) is widely used for screening of latent tuberculosis (TB) before and during biological therapy (BT). An indeterminate result of IGRA represents a limitation in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Data on factors influencing IGRA results are scarce in children. The aim of the study was to identify factors influencing IGRA results in children with IBD.Methods:Seventy-two children with IBD (59 Crohn disease, 11 ulcerative colitis, 2 IBD-unclassified) indicated for BT were tested for TB infection (history, TB skin test, chest radiograph, IGRA; QuantiFERONTB Gold in tube [QFT]) and consecutively retested using QFT in 1-year intervals.Results:We recorded 165 results of QFT (3% positive, 87% negative,and 10% indeterminate results). During follow-up we identified 4 conversions of negative QFT to positivity (3%) and 4 reversions (4%). Patients with indeterminate results of QFT had significantly lower actual weight-for-height z score (P
