Quantiferon-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) is an interferon gamma release assay used to diagnose latent tuberculosis (LTB). A borderline range (0.20 to 0.99 IU/ml) around the cutoff (0.35 IU/ml) has been suggested for the earlier QFT version. Our aims were to evaluate the borderline range for QFT-Plus and the contribution of the new TB2 antigen tube. QFT-Plus results were collected from clinical laboratories in Sweden and linked to incident active TB within 3 to 24 months using the national TB registry. Among QFT-Plus results from 58,539 patients, 83% were negative (<0.20 IU/ml), 2.4% were borderline negative (0.20 to 0.34 IU/ml), 3.4% were borderline positive (0.35 to 0.99 IU/ml), 9.6% were positive (>= 1.0 IU/ml), and 1.6% were indeterminate. Follow-up tests after initial borderline results were negative (<0.20 IU/ml) in 38.3%, without any cases of incident active TB within 2 years. Applying the 0.35-IU/ml cutoff, 1.5% of TB1 and TB2 results were discrepant, of which 52% were within the borderline range. A TB2 result of >= 0.35 IU/ml with a TB1 result of <0.20 IU/ml was found in 0.4% (231/58,539) of all included baseline QFT-Plus test results, including 1.8% (1/55) of incident TB cases. A borderline range for QFT-Plus is clinically useful as more than one-third of those with borderline results are convincingly negative upon retesting, without developing incident active TB. The TB2 tube contribution to LTB diagnosis appears limited.
