Potential auxiliary diagnostic role of pentraxin 3 in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for pulmonary tuberculosis
Abstract Objective This study aimed to assess the auxiliary diagnostic efficacy of Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) as a biomarker for pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) by analyzing its levels in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in TB patients. Given the limitations of current TB diagnostic methods, the i...
