Abstract
Among our HCW samples with positive TSPOT assays, CFP-10 induced a larger proportion of positive TSPOT results than ESAT-6. Potential causes for this finding include: BCG vaccinated subpopulations, certain jobs, history of positive TST, U.S. birth, and study site. A high proportion of single-positive specimens may reflect false-positives results.
