Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios as easy-to-use biomarkers for the diagnosis of active tuberculosis in children and adolescents
The logNLR is a simple, low-cost, and effective biomarker for diagnosis of ATB in children and adolescents. The critical threshold and breakpoint of logNLR enable precise risk stratification, providing valuable support for early ATB identification in this population.
