The limitations of the TST are well documented, including placement variability, inter-reader variability, boosting, and difficulty in interpreting results in patients previously vaccinated with bacille Calmette Guerin (BCG) or with non-tuberculosis mycobacterial (NTM) infection.
The low number of contacts with boosting and the difficulty in distinguishing boosting from TST conversion in the second TST suggests that the strategy of two-step TST testing among contacts of active TB cases may be not worthwhile.

Then came Biles, who soared to preposterous heights on an Amanar to earn an even higher mark of 15.933 despite a small hop at the end – a testament to the boundary-pushing, score-boosting difficulty scores that are propelling a sport forward ready or not.
The conventional method for the preparation of electrodes, also called slurry-coating technique, suffers some difficulty in boosting the high performance and large-scale industrial fabrication of electrode materials.
He said the economy still faced difficulties in boosting rural incomes, reining in energy use and pollution and finding qualified workers for industries.
With difficulties in boosting national coal production, the state-owned Coal India Limited and energy corporations have spearheaded a range of global coal sourcing endeavours, including investing in offshore deposits.
We understand the difficulty in crafting a coherent, regional approach to boosting food production, particularly when the needs vary so dramatically.
The low number of contacts of active TB cases with boosting identified over three years (6%), the cost and the time consuming beyond the difficulty in distinguishing boosting from TST conversion in the second TST suggests that the strategy of two-step TST specifically among contacts of active pulmonary TB cases for identify boosting subjects may not be worthwhile.
An efficient boosting algorithm named adaptive boost (AdaBoost) was proposed to solve many of the practical difficulties of earlier boosting algorithms [10].
