Background: The quantitative interferon (IFN)-γ response in the IFN-γ release assay (IGRA) has been investigated to predict progression from Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection to active tuberculosis (TB). However, the significance of the quantitative IFN-γ response in active TB is rarely known. We assessed the association between IFN-γ response to nil, mitogen, and TB mycobacterial antigens, and the variations from serial IGRA testing in active TB of various primary infection sites. Methods: In total, 102 active TB patients with serial QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT) (Qiagen, Germany) were enrolled. The medical records of patients were reviewed for demographic information, infection sites, tuberculosis treatment, and the quantitative IFN-γ response to nil, mitogen, and TB antigen. Results: Patients included 20, 68, and 14 cases of pulmonary TB, extrapulmonary TB, and multiple TB infection, respectively. The quantitative IFN-γ responses to TB antigens differed significantly according to the infection sites ( P =0.0001). The median IFN-γ response was the highest in lymph node infection (10.0 IU/mL) and the lowest in central nervous system (CNS) infection (0.02 IU/mL). Of the total, 86.3% showed concordant results in serial testing. Both 50% of the patients with persistent negative results and 62.5% of patients with CNS TB had an insufficient IFN-γ response to mitogen. Conclusions: Different IFN-γ responses to TB antigens may indicate variable host immune responses among infection sites in active TB disease. Because a few active TB patients fail to produce an adequate IFN-γ response, a study of cellular mechanisms is needed in such unresponsive patients.
