잠복결핵감염(LTBI)
= Latent TuBerculosis Infection
• 결핵균에 감염되어 체내에 소수의 살아있는 균이 존재하나
• 외부로 배출되지 않아 타인에게 전파되지 않으며,
• 증상이 없고,
• 항산균 검사와 흉부 X선 검사에서 정상인 경우

Dx of TB infection
• 위양성
– BCG 접종
– Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM); 비결핵 항산균
• Inaccuracy of measuring induration
– Subjective interpretation
– Interobserver variation
• Hospital visit (two times)
• Booster 효과
• 면역억제자에서 민감도의 저하(위음성)

국내 IGRA 검사 결과
활동성 결핵 (n=79)
All (+) in 46 patient (58.2%)
All (-) in one patient (1.3%)
결핵 저위험군 (n=78)
All (+) in 2 patient (1.5%)
All (-) in 85 patient (64.9%)
(Lee et al., ERJ, 2006)
IGRA & TST 결과 요약
IGRA
Both are acceptable but imperfect tests in LTBI detection
Sensitivity
- T-SPOT (90%) > QFT-GIT (80%) = TST (80%)
- IGRA: low sensitivity in children
- Both reduced sensitivity in immunocompromised patients
Specificity
IGRA: > 95% in settings with a low TB incidence
TST: much less in BCG-vaccinated subjects
Both have low predictive value for progression to active TB
(Pai M et al., CMR 2014; 27:3-20)
국내 IGRA & TST 결과

IGRA 검사의 임상적 적용
LTBI 의 진단(TST 보다 IGRA가 선호되는 경우)
- Targeted diagnosis and treatment
Repeated tests
Treatment response 판정
Active TB 의 진단(disease site 검체 이용)
Indeterminate results
Diagnosis of NTM (nontuberculous mycobacterial) diseases
LTBI 의 진단: IGRA
IGRA 검사가 TST 보다 선호되는 경우
Low rates of returning to have TSTs read
BCG vaccinated subjects
두 검사 병합사용을 고려할 수 있는 경우
Either test positive strategy: when the risk for infection,
the risk for progression, and the risk for a poor
outcome are increased
To confirm positive TST result
When the initial IGRA result is indeterminate
(CDC MMWR Recomm Rep. 2010 ; 59(RR-5): 1-25)
LTBI 의 진단: 정상면역 성인 (2014 국내 지침안)
LTBI 의 진단: 면역저하 성인 (2014 국내 지침안)
Target population for LTBI diagnosis
Targeted TST (미국흉부학회, 2000)
발병의 위험이 높은 high-risk group 만을 대상으로 TST 시행
즉 TST 시행하여 양성인 경우 잠복결핵의 치료를 시행할 사
람만을 대상으로 시행(치료를 염두에 두고)
- 전염성 결핵환자의 접촉자(접촉자 조사)
- 결핵발병 고위험 조건을 가진 자
- 결핵환자 진료하는 의료인
접촉자조사(2014 국내 지침안)

Summary
Two commercialized IGRAs: QFT-GIT & T-SPOT assay
Diagnosis of TB infection using IGRA
IGRA preferred over TST
- BCG vaccinated subjects
- Immunocompromisde subjects
Higher predictive value of IGRA for developing TB than
TST in TB contacts
No differentiation between LTBI and active TB
No differentiation between TB and NTM disease
Not useful in the evaulation of anti-TB treatment response
