Abstract: The identification and validation of tuberculosis (TB) biomarkers is urgently needed, especially since TB is the second most common infectious cause of death worldwide, despite the fact that it is curable. TB biomarkers, whether host or pathogen specific, would provide prognostic information about pathogenic processes, current health status, and future disease risk of the patient. Thus, a need exists for research development of cost-effective, accurate, and rapid diagnostic assays, in particular, ...

BackgroundTargeted preventive therapy for individuals at highest risk of incident tuberculosis might impact the epidemic by interrupting transmission. We tested performance of a transcriptomic signature of tuberculosis (RISK11) and efficacy of signature-guided preventive therapy in parallel, using a hybrid three-group study design.MethodsAdult volunteers aged 18–59 years were recruited at five geographically distinct communities in South Africa. Whole blood was sampled for RISK11 by quantitative ...

BackgroundA rapid, blood-based triage test that allows targeted investigation for tuberculosis at the point of care could shorten the time to tuberculosis treatment and reduce mortality. We aimed to test the performance of a host blood transcriptomic signature (RISK11) in diagnosing tuberculosis and predicting progression to active pulmonary disease (prognosis) in people with HIV in a community setting.MethodsIn this prospective diagnostic and prognostic accuracy study, adults (aged 18–59 years) with ...
