Abstract
Immune-based diagnostic tests for tuberculosis (TB) have suboptimal sensitivity in children and cannot differentiate between latent infection (LTBI) and active disease. This study evaluated the diagnostic potential of a broad range of biomarkers of tissue damage and inflammation in unstimulated plasma in children.
