What is IGRAs for LTBI Diagnosis in Young Kids about?

IGRAs show promise for diagnosing LTBI in young children but have some limitations: 1) Studies show IGRAs have lower sensitivity in children under 2 compared to older children. 2) Indeterminate results are more common in young children, especially for the T-SPOT test. 3) Larger prospective studies are still needed to better understand the performance of IGRAs and association with progression to active TB in children under 5.
