OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the accuracy of QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) and T-SPOT.TB for diagnosing active tuberculosis (ATB) in febrile patients, to explore influencing factors of positive results and to verify the potential value of QFT-Plus in the identification of ATB and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI).
METHODS: A total of 240 febrile patients with ATB (n = 80) and non-ATB (n = 160) were recruited to assess the accuracy of QFT-Plus and T-SPOT.TB for diagnosing ATB. Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of positive results.
RESULTS: The proportion of indeterminate results (ITRS) in QFT-Plus and T-SPOT.TB were 3.3% and 0%, respectively. The consistency between the results of the QFT-Plus and T-SPOT.TB was substantial. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of the QFT-Plus and T-SPOT.TB for diagnosing ATB was 0.792 and 0.849 (p = 0.070), respectively. The sensitivity of differentiating ATB from non-ATB was 92.2% in QFT-Plus versus 95.0% in T-SPOT.TB. The influencing factors of T-SPOT.TB positive result were male (odds ratio (OR) = 2.33, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.27-4.26, p = 0.006), evidence of previous TB (OR 11.36, 95% CI 4.62-27.94, p < 0.001), while male (OR = 3.17, 95% CI 1.73-5.84, p < 0.001), evidence of previous TB (OR = 7.58, 95% CI 3.60-15.98, p <0.001), and use of immunosuppressant (OR = 0.49, 95% CI 0.260.94, p = 0.030) were influencing factors for QFT-Plus positive result. There was no significant difference in QFT-Plus in differentiating ATB from LTBI in febrile patients.
CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference between QFT-Plus and T-SPOT.TB for diagnosing ATB in febrile patients. QFT-Plus is prone to ITRS. The influencing factors including males, evidence of the previous TB, and use of immunosuppressant should be considered when interpreting positive results.
