ABSTRACT We evaluated the T-SPOT.TB and Quantiferon-TB Gold In tube (QFN-G-IT) tests for diagnosing Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. T-SPOT.TB was more sensitive than QFN-G-IT in diagnosing both active and latent infection. Both gamma interferon tests were unaffected by prior Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccination. Among children who were not BCG vaccinated but had a positive tuberculin skin test, QFN-G-IT was negative in 53.3% of cases, and T-SPOT.TB was negative in 50% of cases.

Early Manifestation

Localized erythema at the site of a previous bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) inoculation is a relatively specific and early manifestation of Kawasaki disease (KD),1 and redness and crusting are characteristic features at the site of BCG immunization during the acute phase of the illness.2 With these findings in mind, we evaluated the tuberculin skin test reactivity of children with KD, as determined by a commercially available (Sclavo, Siena, Italy) and intradermally injected (5 TU) purified protein derivative (PPD).
