A systematic review of potential screening biomarkers for active TB disease

Introduction: The standard TB Four Symptom Screen does not meet the World Health Organization (WHO) ideal screening criteria for having greater than 90% sensitivity to identify active TB disease, regardless of HIV status. To identify novel screening biomarkers for active TB, we performed a systemati...
