Differential Expression of Host Biomarkers in Saliva and Serum Samples from Individuals with Suspected Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Table 4
Utility of host markers detected in serum in the diagnosis of TB disease.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Median levels (pg/mL) and interquartile ranges (in parenthesis) of the markers and abilities to discriminate between pulmonary TB cases () and individuals without active TB () are shown. Only markers for which Mann-Whitney values were ≤0.09 are shown. AUC: area under the receiver operator characteristics (ROC) curve; 95% CI: 95% confidence interval. The cut-off values are for sensitivity and specificity for TB disease and were selected based on the highest likelihood ratio. Marker levels are in pg/mL except for SAA and SAP (ng/mL). |
