Detection and quantification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen CFP10 in serum and urine for the rapid diagnosis of active tuberculosis disease

Abstract Outside of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, tuberculosis is the leading cause of infectious disease mortality globally. Currently, there is no commercially available point-of-care diagnostic that is rapid, inexpensive, and highly sensitive for the diagnosis of active tuberculosis disease. Her...
