Back in 2005 a representative from
Mayo said
Quantiferon (or something similar) will be the gold standard and possibly replace the skin test, although it still has a role in the transition.
It's worth having a look at Mayo. Out of 4,861 hospitals that were considered in the
America's Best Hospitals: the 2009–10 Honor Roll Mayo was No.2.
Clearly Mayo are a market leader.
