To evaluate the contribution made to the diagnostic work-up for patients with suspected ocular tuberculosis (TB) by QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT) tests using latent class analysis model. A single centre retrospective cohort study. A Bayesian latent class model was constructed on the basis of dem...
