Real-time PCR for the rapid identification of latent tuberculosis infection using host-serum biomarkers

2026-08-18

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Background Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is a major health challenge globally, which constitutes a large reservoir for future active disease and transmission. Currently, diagnostic tests, including the tuberculin skin test and interferon-γ release assays, have limited ability to distinguish LTBI from active disease and to predict disease progression. Therefore, this study aime...
