The nomogram model for the differential diagnosis of ATB from IATB was established according to gender, age, pleural effusion (PE), and the concentration of IFN-γ in the Nil, TB antigen, and mitogen tube of QFT-GIT in the training cohort by logistic regression and validated in the validation cohort, and then combined with adenosine deaminase (ADA) to evaluated the performance value in ATB cases with PE. The gene discussed is IFNG; the disease is Pleural effusion.
