Key Impacts
Nasal host gene expression in adults with pulmonary TB and HIV in Uganda
This study suggests that there are distinct immune responses to PTB in the nose, compared with blood. Differences in nasal gene expression in adults with HIV who have PTB, versus those without PTB, highlight their potential as TB diagnostic biomarkers.
