Whole blood mRNA expression-based targets to discriminate active tuberculosis from latent infection and other pulmonary diseases
Abstract Current diagnostic tests for tuberculosis (TB) are not able to predict reactivation disease progression from latent TB infection (LTBI). The main barrier to predicting reactivation disease is the lack of our understanding of host biomarkers associated with progression from latent infection...
