Article Synopsis
- - The WHO's current four-symptom screen for diagnosing active tuberculosis (TB) is not very effective, especially in areas with low TB prevalence, highlighting the need for better diagnostic methods.
- - Researchers explored using blood protein biomarkers as a potential solution for TB screening, focusing on inexpensive tests that could be used in low-resource settings.
- - The study found that a combination of specific biomarkers (I-309, SYWC, and kallistatin) showed strong potential for identifying active TB cases, meeting WHO's criteria for screening tests in certain regions like Peru and South Africa.
