Serological Test for the Diagnosis of TB (MycoTB)

December 9, 2021 updated by: University Hospital, Montpellier

Performances of Immunoassays Based on the Detection of Antibodies Directed Against Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Antigen for the Diagnosis of Active Tuberculosis in Adults

TB remains a health problem in France with about 5,000 new cases per year. Development of new screening tests is a priority for TB. The main objective of the study is to evaluate performances of innovative blood tests to identify active tuberculosis in adults patients living in low-prevalence country. Adult patients with possible TB from will be tested for the presence of antibodies directed against M. tuberculosis selected antigens. Positive and negative predictive values will be established based on TB culture results.
