This approach, based on serum levels of ApoA1, CRP, ferritin, IL-6, IP-10, and SAA1/A2, yielded an 83% sensitivity and 97% specificity for detection of TB versus LTBI. Noteworthy is that not all six markers might be necessary, as a 4-marker NUM score combining CRP, IL-6, IP-10, and SAA1/A2 in this study yields a sensitivity of 87%, which nears the WHO-recommended sensitivity (90%) for triage TB tests.83 The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is tuberculosis.
