Blood Based Mass Spectrometry Assay for Rapid Diagnosis and Treatment Monitoring of Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a threat to millions of people, partly due to poor sputum-based diagnostic techniques which poses detection limitations to susceptible victims, such as pediatrics, Extrapulmonary TB, and HIV positive patients. As such, the World Health Organization has called for better methods of diagnosing Tuberculosis. A blood-based Mass Spectrometry (MS) assay has proved inclusiveness
