Very obvious now that SARS-CoV-2 infection can be characterised as: AAA
A: Acceleration (e.g. dementia, vascular)
A: reActivation (e.g. EBV, LTBI)
A: Aging (inflammation, telomere shortening)
Longevity and / or healthspan cannot be fully addressed without understanding this.

Covid accelerates vascular aging
An 18-country, 38-center study of ~2,000 participants
—Effect predominantly in women, adding 5 years of aging
—Seen with non-hospitalized and mild-moderate Covid
—Reversible in some at 1-year; vaccination link to protection

For this reason IGRAs including Quantiferon gold are not recommended to monitor response to LTBI therapy.
Guidelines are very clear on this. I do not repeat IGRA to assess treatment efficacy and clinical decision-making should not hinge on post-treatment IGRA results.

but to answer your q, yes, we do LTBI rx with FQ for intolerance of RIF and INH! we base this on the MDR contact data

Don't do this.
Not sensitive enough for ne IGRA to rule out active TB.
Not specific for active disease as possible in LTBI (and previous disease).
Rarely MIGHT be helpful in swinging balance of probabilities in difficult cases where microbiology/ molecular testing not possible.

I was curious what the historical latent TB prevalence rate was in US.
4-5%, (highest in middle-aged ppl and elderly), as of 2016 & declining very slowly.
200 in a single school is extremely high. Yikes. Today is a GREAT day to clean the air.

In some individuals, the T-cell response wanes enough to fall below the assay threshold but that immune memory is heterogeneous and durable in many people, so results vary. Across studies some patients revert to negative after LTBI treatment but many remain persistently positive.
