Immunological correlates of mycobacterial growth inhibition describe a spectrum of tuberculosis infection

Abstract A major contribution to the burden of Tuberculosis (TB) comes from latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections (LTBI) becoming clinically active. TB and LTBI probably exist as a spectrum and currently there are no correlates available to identify individuals with LTBI most at risk of devel...
