Host Serum Biomarker Signatures in Mycobacteriologically Cured Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients with Persistent Lung Inflammation on 18F-FDG PET/CT

2026Open accessUniversity of Cape Town

Abstract

We report associations between serum inflammatory mediators and persistent pulmonary inflammation following mycobacterial clearance in TB patients, highlighting their potential as diagnostic biomarkers that could potentially meet the target product profile (TPP) criteria.
