There is a lack of objective tools for monitoring treatment response in extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB). This study aimed to explore the utility of inflammatory biomarkers from the dry blood spots (DBS) as a tool for monitoring treatment response in EPTB. In a prospective cohort study, 40 inflammatory biomarkers were investigated in DBS samples from 105 EPTB cases using a Luminex platform.
