BACKGROUND: Evidence on the comparative performance of purified protein derivative tuberculin skin tests (TST) and interferon-gamma release assays (IGRA) for predicting incident active tuberculosis (TB) remains conflicting.
Snakebite clinical trials have often used heterogeneous outcome measures and there is an urgent need for standardisation.
