摘要

Abstract Introduction Differentiation of tuberculoma from cancer in solitary pulmonary nodule or mass still remains a major challenge in diagnostic laboratories. Objectives The objective of this study is to determine the performance of T‐SPOT.TB assay in discriminating these 2 diseases. Methods We prospectively enrolled 331 patients with a solitary pulmonary nodule or mass on computed tomography scans. Conventional tests and T‐SPOT.TB assay were simultaneously performed in all participants. Results Our results showed that the performance of directly using T‐SPOT.TB results in distinguishing tuberculoma from cancer in solitary pulmonary nodule or mass was not satisfactory because of moderate sensitivity and specificity. However, a further calculation of the ratio of TB‐specific antigen (TBAg) to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) (TBAg/PHA ratio) of T‐SPOT.TB assay may lead to improvement in distinguishing these 2 diseases. If using the threshold value of 0.236, the sensitivity and specificity of the TBAg/PHA ratio in distinguishing tuberculoma from cancer in solitary pulmonary nodule or mass were, respectively, 80.6% and 93.3%. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.921 (95% confidence interval, 0.875‐0.967). Furthermore, the TBAg/PHA ratio may also be used to distinguish tuberculoma from other benign diseases (AUC: 0.909, sensitivity: 85.07%, specificity: 90%). Conclusions Calculation of the TBAg/PHA ratio might provide a useful non‐invasive tool for distinguishing tuberculoma from cancer in patients with a solitary pulmonary nodule or mass in TB‐endemic countries.
