There was no sensitive and specific biomarker for tuberculosis infection, disease progression and predicting the prognosis of treatment. Therefore, the investigators aimed to investigate and evaluate the newer biomarker for the diagnosis of TB infection. To investigate the new biomarker for TB infection, the investigators will recruit the participants including active TB patients, healthy household contacts, healthy community control.
