Abstract:BackgroundTuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of death from a single infectious agent, and triage tests based on biomarkers may help to improve the diagnosis. This study aims to determine whether C-reactive protein (CRP), interferon-γ-inducible protein 10 (IP-10), α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), and α1-anti-trypsin (AAT) could be useful for a screening test in patients with presumptive TB disease.MethodsCRP, IP-10, AGP, and AAT were measured in plasma samples from 277 patients with presumptive TB disease in the R… Show more
