Differences in BCG vaccination and tuberculin skin-test positivity – Authors' reply Lei Gao, Qi Jin The Lancet Infectious Diseases Volume 15, Issue 9, Pages 1003-1005 (September 2015) DOI: 10.1016/S1473-3099(15)00251-0 Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions

Figure Agreement between QFT positivity and TST (≥10mm) positivity, by age and BCG vaccination scar status The positivity of QuantiFERON interferon-γ release assay (QFT) and tuberculin skin test (TST; ≥10 mm) results are shown in every age group by the status of BCG scar. TST was affected by BCG vaccination especially among those who might have had a booster BCG vaccination.
