Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The asymptomatic nature of tuberculosis (TB) during its latent phase, combined with limitations in current diagnostic methods, makes accurate diagnosis challenging. This study aims to identify TB diagnostic biomarkers by integrating gene expression screening with machine learning, evaluating their diagnostic potential and correlation with immune cell infiltration.
