Inflammatory Biomarkers of Asymptomatic and Symptomatic Tuberculosis

Denis Awany, Dominique T Ariefdien, Simon C. Mendelsohn…·Petrus Tyambetyuv

This study identifies transcriptomic and proteomic features of asymptomatic tuberculosis, revealing distinct sub-clusters and a new blood signature, but finds weaker diagnostic performance for asymptomatic cases compared to symptomatic ones.

Immune profiling in M. tuberculosis infection enables stratification of patients with active disease

Darragh Duffy, Elisa Nemes, Alba Llibre…·Matthew L Albert

This study compares TruCulture and QFT methods for detecting active TB, finding TruCulture better distinguishes active disease from latent infection using IFN-gamma and cytokine responses.
