In this same cohort of 23 children with TBM and 24 controls, VEGF, IFN-γ, and MPO provided good accuracy with an AUC of 0.97, up to 91.3% sensitivity and up to 100% specificity, with cut-off values of >9.4, >99.5, and >25,823 pg/mL, respectively (Manyelo et al., 2019). The gene discussed is VEGFA; the disease is meningeal tuberculosis.
