Case–control diagnostic accuracy study of a non-sputum CD38-based TAM-TB test from a single milliliter of blood

Abstract CD4 T cell phenotyping-based blood assays have the potential to meet WHO target product profiles (TPP) of non-sputum-biomarker-based tests to diagnose tuberculosis (TB). Yet, substantial refinements are required to allow their implementation in clinical settings. This study assessed the rea...
