Add to ORKGBackground Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most serious infectious diseases globally and has high mor-tality rates. A variety of diagnostic tests are available, yet none are wholly reliable. Serum cytokines, although significantly and frequently induced by different diseases and thus good biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis, are not sufficiently disease-specific. TB-specific antibody detection, on the other hand, has been reported to be highly specific but not sufficiently sensitive. In this study, our aim was to improve the sensitivity and speci-ficity of TB diagnosis by combining detection of TB-related cytokines and TB-specific anti-bodies in peripheral blood samples. Methods TB-related serum cytokines were screened using a hu...
