    ObjectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic value of T-SPOT.TB assay in patients with hematological disorders and tuberculosis. MethodsA total of 82 patients with hematological disorders and suspected tuberculosis diagnosed between March 2012 and April 2013 received T-SPOT. TB assay in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells. ResultsThe positive detection rate of T-SPOT.TB assay for patients with hematological disorders and tuberculosis was 59.09% (13/22), which was higher than the positive detection rate of anti-TB antibody test[13.64% (3/22)]. The sensibility and specificity of T-SPOT.TB assay for patients with hematological disorders and tuberculosis was 59.09% (13/22) and 68.33% (41/60), respectively. ConclusionT-SPOT.TB assay is of great value on diagnosis of tuberculosis for patients with hematological disorders and suspected tuberculosis. The diagnostic value of T-SPOT.TB assay is more important for tuberculosis infected patients; it can be used as an accessorial diagnostic method for patients with hematological disorder and suspected tuberculosis.
