Description
Yanyan Liu and seven co-authors pair two tests to catch lung tuberculosis faster in a 2024 study. A blood test reads the immune echo of the germ, while a gene sweep of lung fluid hunts the germ itself. Each alone misses cases, so the team tried the pair on hospital patients.
Records covered 29 patients with the disease and 32 without, seen in late 2022 and mid 2023. The blood signal ran far higher in the sick group. Oddly, cough and chest pain showed up less in the sick than in the well group. Scores for how well each test and the pair sort sick from well were charted.
