The clinical usefulness of ex vivo interferon-γ assays may largely depend on the assay format and epidemiological status tuberculosis (TB) in region studied. From July 2004 to June 2005 a prospective comparison study was undertaken at tertiary referral hospital South Korea. results tuberculin skin tests (TST) commercially available QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT-G) T SPOT-TB (SPOT) were compared an intermediate TB-burden country. Of 224 participants studied, from all three (TST, QFT-G, SPOT) 218;...
Background/AimsHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) exhibits high de novo recurrence rates post-resection.Current postsurgery prediction methods are limited, emphasizing the need for reliable biomarkers to assess risk.We aimed develop methylation-based markers classifying HCC patients and predicting their risk of post-surgery. MethodsIn this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed data from who underwent surgical resection in Korea, excluding those with within one-year post-surgery.Using Infinium...

Introduction: The rate of latent tuberculosis infections (LTBIs) in health care workers (HCWs) is higher than that non-HCWs. We studied to investigate the prevalence and risk factors LTBIs acceptance for treatment LTBI among HCWs South Korea, a country with an intermediate (TB) burden. Methodology: screening was conducted at tertiary secondary hospital from April 2017 August 2017. This retrospective study included all who underwent examination. were classified by degree into four groups,...
The diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in solid organ transplantation (SOT) patients under lifelong immunosuppression has profound effects on preoperative and postoperative management. Interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) is widely used to screen LTBI before or after transplantation.We evaluated the effect posttransplantation IGRA influencing factors by measuring interval change QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) between pretransplantation (pre-QFT-Plus) (post-QFT-Plus)...
