Our case series highlights the utility of the IGRA for establishing a TB association in patients with EI/NV. Although limited by a small sample size, we propose adjunctive use of this test at the time of EI/NV diagnosis, especially in the setting of previous BCG exposure, so that management can be tailored according to whether an underlying relationship with TB exists.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
