Advances in biomarker research for tuberculosis diagnosis

doi:10.19982/j.issn.1000-6621.20240046

Abstract

Abstract:

Tuberculosis is a global public health problem. Biomarkers of Mycobacterium tuberculosis can be used for early diagnosis and treatment monitoring of tuberculosis. However, current tuberculosis diagnostic methods are insufficient, and there is an urgent need to identify new and easily accessible biomarkers for rapid diagnosis of tuberculosis to explore new methods for rapid diagnosis of tuberculosis. This review introduces the latest research progress of tuberculosis biomarkers in blood, urine, saliva and other sample sources, respectively, to provide clues for the development of novel tuberculosis diagnostic methods.

Key words: Tuberculosis, Biological factors, Biological markers, Diagnosis, Review literature as topic
