The Utility of a Three-gene Host Response to Discriminate Tuberculous Meningitis From Other Infections in Children

The 3-gene host response signature does not discriminate TBM from controls in children and was much less discriminative compared to adults. An alternative set of pediatric-specific signatures may exist, but further discovery and validation are required.

Abstract

The 3-gene host response signature does not discriminate TBM from controls in children and was much less discriminative compared to adults. An alternative set of pediatric-specific signatures may exist, but further discovery and validation are required.
