The use of interferon gamma release assays can reduce overdiagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection among people from countries that use the bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccine and have moderate to high rates of disease, according to a study.

Latent tuberculosis infection was an uncommon adverse event after treatment with secukinumab for chronic systemic inflammatory conditions, according to a study published in JAMA Dermatology.
