Blood-based host biomarker diagnostics in active case finding for pulmonary tuberculosis: a diagnostic case-control study

2021-01-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> There is a need to identify scalable tuberculosis screening strategies among high burden populations. The WHO has identified a non-sputum-based triage test as a development priority. <h4>Methods</h4> We performed a diagnostic case-control study of point-of-care C-reactive protein (CRP) and Xpert-MTB-Host-Response (Xpert-MTB-HR) assays in the context of a mass screening program for tuberculosis...
