(A) Proportion of indeterminate QFT-GIT results in group A (< 4 years old), B (5 to 9 years old), and C (10 to 18 years old). (B) IFN-γ response to the mitogen control PHA (censored at 15 IU/mL) according to the age group. Red lines indicate the median values. P values were calculated using the Mann–Whitney U test. (C) IFN-γ response to the TB antigens (censored at 15 IU/mL) according to age of children with a positive QFT-GIT result. The red lines indicate the median values. P values were calculated using the Mann–Whitney U test. QFT-GIT QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube, PHA phytohemagglutinin, IFN-γ interferon-gamma, TB tuberculosis.
