The risk factor of false‐negative and false‐positive for T‐SPOT.TB in active tuberculosis

T‐SPOT.TB is a promising diagnosis tool to identify both pulmonary tuberculosis and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, as well as latent tuberculosis; however, the factors that affect the results of T‐SPOT.TB remains unclear. In this study, we aim to figure out the risk factor of T‐SPOT.TB for active TB.
