The Online TST/IGRA Interpreter
Version 3.0

 

The following tool estimates the risk of active tuberculosis for an individual with a tuberculin skin test reaction of ≥5mm, based on his/her clinical profile. It is intended for adults tested with standard tuberculin (5 TU PPDS, or 2 TU RT-23) and/or a commercial Interferon Gamma release assay (IGRA). For more details about the algorithm used, go to the About page. The current version of the algorithm contains modifications of the original version, which was detailed in a paper by Menzies, et al. (2008). For further information see references, or contact dick.menzies@mcgill.ca
