Monocyte-related gene biomarkers for latent and active tuberculosis

Monocytes are closely associated with tuberculosis (TB). Latent tuberculosis in some patients gradually develops into its active state. This study aimed to investigate the role of hub monocyte-associated genes in distinguishing latent TB infection (LTBI) from active TB. The gene expression profiles...
