Tuberculosis Biomarkers

Tuberculosis (TB) biomarkers are specific biological indicators—such as proteins, genes, or molecules—that can be detected in the body to identify TB infection or disease. These biomarkers help doctors determine whether someone has TB, how active the infection is, or if the treatment is working. They provide faster, more accurate information than traditional methods, improving diagnosis and patient care. Research continues to find reliable biomarkers for TB to enable earlier detection and better management of the disease.
