Tuberculosis diagnostics and biomarkers: needs, challenges, recent advances, and opportunities [PDF]

, 2012
Tuberculosis is unique among the major infectious diseases in that it lacks accurate rapid point-of-care diagnostic tests. Failure to control the spread of tuberculosis is largely due to our inability to detect and treat all infectious cases of pulmonary
