Clinical Specificity of the CST001 Assay as Measured by the Number of Correctly Identified Actual Negatives1 day (At time of enrollment)To compare the clinical specificity of the CST001 assay to the QuantiFERON-TB Gold test in low TB exposure risk subjects and non TB infected subjects based on an assessment of known risk factors. These subjects had no identified risk factors of TB infection.

Pre-assignment details

For the TB low risk cohort, 2 samples were excluded due to sample transport issues and the third sample for being misdiagnosed as low risk. For the non-TB cohort,1 sample was excluded due to a sample transport issue, and second excluded sample was inadvertently enrolled twice.
