Interferon gamma release assays based on M. tuberculosis- -specific antigens in sarcoidosis patients.

CONCLUSIONS: In sarcoidosis patients formerly BCG vaccinated, positive rate of IGRAs was 4.6% for QFT-GIT and 3.7% for T-SPOT. TB. We did not find the influence of the selected parameters of sarcoidosis on IGRAs results.
