New genome type of adenovirus serotype 4 caused nosocomial infections associated with epidemic conjunctivitis in Japan.

abstract：:Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) release assays (IGRAs) are increasingly used to test for latent tuberculosis (TB) infection. Although highly specific, IGRAs have a relatively high false-negative rate in active TB patients. A more sensitive assay is needed. IFN-γ-induced protein 10 (IP-10) is an alternative biomarker with a 1...
