Identifcation of Biomarkers for Active Pulmonary Tuberculosis Using a Metabolomics Approach: a Prospective Multicenter Study

This experiment is designed to analyze the metabolites in body fluids from patients with active tuberculosis and latent tuberculosis infection also with health volunteer, then combine the metabolic product features with clinical characteristics, to develop a kind of metabolites targets to evaluate the progress in tuberculosis, thus provide a basis for further utilization of humoral metabolites in the diagnosis of tuberculosis.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients with active tuberculosis and latent tuberculosis infection
