in Spain varies depending on the region&#46; The incidence of tuberculosis has dropped in Spain over the last decade&#59; however&#44; it is important to know that&#44; even in areas of low prevalence&#44; the occurrence of TB in immunocompromised patients is an important cause of morbidity and mortality&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Uraemia is known to be associated with a large number of immune system disorders&#44; most of them linked to impaired cellular immunity&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span> Latent tuberculosis is characterised by a strong cellular immune response in the absence of detectable mycobacteria&#46; As this infection is controlled by the cellular immune response&#44; impairment in cellular immunity may lead to the reactivation of latent tuberculosis infection&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span> At present the skin sensitivity to the tuberculin is the method used to detect latent tuberculosis infection&#46; The response to this antigen depends on the infectious load and the condition of the individual&#8217;s cellular immunity&#46; It has low sensitivity and specificity&#46; Furthermore&#44; in uraemic patients the delayed immune response to skin tests<span class="elsevierStyleSup"> </span>is reduced<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span> as well as the macrophage function&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span> This may cause cutaneous anergy and alter the response to the tuberculin skin test &#40;TST&#41;&#46; For this reason&#44; TST is not routinely performed on dialysis patients&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Given the fact that there is no gold standard test to diagnose TB&#44; some groups have studied tests that use Interferon-Gamma Release Assays &#40;IGRA&#41;&#46; They have compared these with TST in order to determine their sensitivity and specificity in different subgroups of the population&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1&#44;4-6</span> The different regulations concerning the use of IGRA depend on each country&#46; For example&#44; the CDC &#40;Center for Disease Control&#41; in the USA recommends replacing TST with IGRA in all cases&#59; while in the United Kingdom&#44; the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence &#40;NICE&#41; recommends the use of IGRA in combination with TST only when the tuberculin skin test was positive&#46; Other countries such as France or Canada have adopted these recommendations&#46; However&#44; they are based on cost-effectiveness studies which compare TST with one of the IGRA &#40;QFT-GIT or T-SPOT&#46;TB&#41; available on the market&#46; In a recently published study&#44; Pooran et al<span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span> compared the two types of IGRA&#46; They reached the conclusion that it was cheaper to use a regimen combining TST&#47;IGRA rather than using T-SPOT&#46;TB or QFT-GIT or TST on their own for contact tracing&#46; While T-SPOT&#46;TB and QFT-GIT on their own prevent more cases of active TB&#44; they do not better the lower cost of the combined use of TST&#47;IGRA&#46; However&#44; these conclusions depend largely on the population studied&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The aim of our study was to compare QFT-GIT with the TST as a screening method to detect latent tuberculosis in patients on peritoneal dialysis &#40;PD&#41;&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">PATIENTS AND METHODS</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">&#160;</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Patients</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The study included patients with chronic renal failure &#40;CRF&#41;

several authors have compared the use of IGRA with TST in different groups of patients &#40;general population&#44; children&#44; hospitalised patients at-risk and immunocompromised patients&#41;&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1&#44;4-5</span> TST has been used routinely despite its low specificity&#44; high number of false positives &#40;previous vaccination with BCG or infection by non-tuberculosis mycobacteria&#41;&#44; and low sensitivity &#40;high number of false negatives in immunocompromised patients and patients with cutaneous anergy&#41;&#46; Woeltje et al studied 307 patients on HD&#44; 32&#37; had cutaneous anergy to three different allergens and 9&#37; of the patients without anergy tested positive for TST&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span> In our study&#44; the positive response to TST was similar to that described for patients on HD&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span> The finding of 6 TST-negative patients with positive chest x-ray can be explained by the rate of cutaneous anergy described above in HD patients&#46; Immune system impairment has been described in uraemic patients leading to a high rate of infections and mortality&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span> This delayed immune response leads to interleukin-2 deficit&#44; B-cell lymphopenia&#44; increased cell apoptosis&#44; impaired T-lymphocyte activation and more antigen-presenting cells&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">10-15</span> All these changes in the host&#8217;s responses may explain the negative results for TST&#44; regardless of whether they had cutaneous anergy or not&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The use of IGRA in HD patients has been researched with similar results to ours&#46; One of these studies was specifically designed to compare TST with QFT-GIT in 203 patients on HD and found a reasonable correlation between them&#46; Therefore&#44; TST for TB screening without a physician&#8217;s assessment was not recommended for this population&#44; but rather using a combination of IGRA with a physician&#8217;s assessment&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span> More recently&#44; Torres et al found a moderate level of agreement between both tests with a similar sample size to ours&#46; This study included hospitalised patients with a high risk of suffering from TB &#40;some on HD&#41;&#46; They recommended using QFT-GIT routinely in this type of patients&#44; at least in cases on HD&#44; to try and establish when to treat the tuberculosis&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span> These results in PD patients can be explained by cutaneous anergy as well as the low production of QFT-GIT and other cytokines&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In this study&#44; 16&#37; of patients were inconclusive for QFT-GIT&#46; Our results coincide with those of Manuel et al&#44; although these authors studied a different group of immunocompromised patients &#40;with chronic liver disease&#41;&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span> By analysing all these data&#44; we could come to the conclusion that the inconclusive results are probably related to immunodeficiency&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">This study investigated for the first time the contribution of QFT-GIT to improving the diagnosis of tuberculosis in PD patients&#46; Its main weakness is the number of patients who had a positive skin test and&#47;or QTF-GIT&#46; Our results correlate well with the percentage of positive results found in the few publications there are&#44; and the number of patients studied is relatively high given the low incidence and prevalence of PD patients in Spain&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">To conclude&#44; we believe that IGRA represent an important advance in the diagnosis of tuberculosis&#44; and at this moment they can complement the TST but not replace it&#46; The role of IGRA in the screening of at-risk people&#44; including PD patients diagnosed with CRF&#44; still has to be defined&#59; therefore&#44; longitudinal studies that provide solid evidence on their prognostic value in the long-term development of TB are needed&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><a href="grande&#47;10765&#95;16025&#95;15371&#95;en&#95;pages&#95;from&#95;107651t1&#46;jpg" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><img src="10765_16025_15371_en_pages_from_107651t1.jpg" alt="Patients&#191;

in Spain varies depending on the region&#46; The incidence of tuberculosis has dropped in Spain over the last decade&#59; however&#44; it is important to know that&#44; even in areas of low prevalence&#44; the occurrence of TB in immunocompromised patients is an important cause of morbidity and mortality&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Uraemia is known to be associated with a large number of immune system disorders&#44; most of them linked to impaired cellular immunity&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span> Latent tuberculosis is characterised by a strong cellular immune response in the absence of detectable mycobacteria&#46; As this infection is controlled by the cellular immune response&#44; impairment in cellular immunity may lead to the reactivation of latent tuberculosis infection&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span> At present the skin sensitivity to the tuberculin is the method used to detect latent tuberculosis infection&#46; The response to this antigen depends on the infectious load and the condition of the individual&#8217;s cellular immunity&#46; It has low sensitivity and specificity&#46; Furthermore&#44; in uraemic patients the delayed immune response to skin tests<span class="elsevierStyleSup"> </span>is reduced<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span> as well as the macrophage function&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span> This may cause cutaneous anergy and alter the response to the tuberculin skin test &#40;TST&#41;&#46; For this reason&#44; TST is not routinely performed on dialysis patients&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Given the fact that there is no gold standard test to diagnose TB&#44; some groups have studied tests that use Interferon-Gamma Release Assays &#40;IGRA&#41;&#46; They have compared these with TST in order to determine their sensitivity and specificity in different subgroups of the population&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1&#44;4-6</span> The different regulations concerning the use of IGRA depend on each country&#46; For example&#44; the CDC &#40;Center for Disease Control&#41; in the USA recommends replacing TST with IGRA in all cases&#59; while in the United Kingdom&#44; the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence &#40;NICE&#41; recommends the use of IGRA in combination with TST only when the tuberculin skin test was positive&#46; Other countries such as France or Canada have adopted these recommendations&#46; However&#44; they are based on cost-effectiveness studies which compare TST with one of the IGRA &#40;QFT-GIT or T-SPOT&#46;TB&#41; available on the market&#46; In a recently published study&#44; Pooran et al<span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span> compared the two types of IGRA&#46; They reached the conclusion that it was cheaper to use a regimen combining TST&#47;IGRA rather than using T-SPOT&#46;TB or QFT-GIT or TST on their own for contact tracing&#46; While T-SPOT&#46;TB and QFT-GIT on their own prevent more cases of active TB&#44; they do not better the lower cost of the combined use of TST&#47;IGRA&#46; However&#44; these conclusions depend largely on the population studied&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The aim of our study was to compare QFT-GIT with the TST as a screening method to detect latent tuberculosis in patients on peritoneal dialysis &#40;PD&#41;&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">PATIENTS AND METHODS</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">&#160;</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Patients</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The study included patients with chronic renal failure &#40;CRF&#41;

several authors have compared the use of IGRA with TST in different groups of patients &#40;general population&#44; children&#44; hospitalised patients at-risk and immunocompromised patients&#41;&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1&#44;4-5</span> TST has been used routinely despite its low specificity&#44; high number of false positives &#40;previous vaccination with BCG or infection by non-tuberculosis mycobacteria&#41;&#44; and low sensitivity &#40;high number of false negatives in immunocompromised patients and patients with cutaneous anergy&#41;&#46; Woeltje et al studied 307 patients on HD&#44; 32&#37; had cutaneous anergy to three different allergens and 9&#37; of the patients without anergy tested positive for TST&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span> In our study&#44; the positive response to TST was similar to that described for patients on HD&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span> The finding of 6 TST-negative patients with positive chest x-ray can be explained by the rate of cutaneous anergy described above in HD patients&#46; Immune system impairment has been described in uraemic patients leading to a high rate of infections and mortality&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span> This delayed immune response leads to interleukin-2 deficit&#44; B-cell lymphopenia&#44; increased cell apoptosis&#44; impaired T-lymphocyte activation and more antigen-presenting cells&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">10-15</span> All these changes in the host&#8217;s responses may explain the negative results for TST&#44; regardless of whether they had cutaneous anergy or not&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The use of IGRA in HD patients has been researched with similar results to ours&#46; One of these studies was specifically designed to compare TST with QFT-GIT in 203 patients on HD and found a reasonable correlation between them&#46; Therefore&#44; TST for TB screening without a physician&#8217;s assessment was not recommended for this population&#44; but rather using a combination of IGRA with a physician&#8217;s assessment&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span> More recently&#44; Torres et al found a moderate level of agreement between both tests with a similar sample size to ours&#46; This study included hospitalised patients with a high risk of suffering from TB &#40;some on HD&#41;&#46; They recommended using QFT-GIT routinely in this type of patients&#44; at least in cases on HD&#44; to try and establish when to treat the tuberculosis&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span> These results in PD patients can be explained by cutaneous anergy as well as the low production of QFT-GIT and other cytokines&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In this study&#44; 16&#37; of patients were inconclusive for QFT-GIT&#46; Our results coincide with those of Manuel et al&#44; although these authors studied a different group of immunocompromised patients &#40;with chronic liver disease&#41;&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span> By analysing all these data&#44; we could come to the conclusion that the inconclusive results are probably related to immunodeficiency&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">This study investigated for the first time the contribution of QFT-GIT to improving the diagnosis of tuberculosis in PD patients&#46; Its main weakness is the number of patients who had a positive skin test and&#47;or QTF-GIT&#46; Our results correlate well with the percentage of positive results found in the few publications there are&#44; and the number of patients studied is relatively high given the low incidence and prevalence of PD patients in Spain&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">To conclude&#44; we believe that IGRA represent an important advance in the diagnosis of tuberculosis&#44; and at this moment they can complement the TST but not replace it&#46; The role of IGRA in the screening of at-risk people&#44; including PD patients diagnosed with CRF&#44; still has to be defined&#59; therefore&#44; longitudinal studies that provide solid evidence on their prognostic value in the long-term development of TB are needed&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><a href="grande&#47;10765&#95;16025&#95;15371&#95;en&#95;pages&#95;from&#95;107651t1&#46;jpg" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><img src="10765_16025_15371_en_pages_from_107651t1.jpg" alt="Patients&#191;
