Discriminating active tuberculosis (ATB) from latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) remains challenging. This study aimed to investigate a diagnostic model based on a combination of iron metabolism and the TB-specific antigen/phytohemagglutinin ratio (TBAg/PHA ratio) in T-SPOT.TB assay for differentiation between ATB and LTBI.
