Effect of tuberculosis-specific antigen stimulation on the diagnostic accuracy of interferon-γ inducible protein-10 in distinguishing active and latent tuberculosis infection: A meta-analysis

Identiying active tuberculosis (ATB) from latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) persists as a challenge, and interferon-γ inducible protein-10 (IP-10) has been employed as the solution. To further improve its diagnostic performance, the sample can be stimulated with TB specific antigen (TBAg).
