About This Trial
The aim of this study is to identify new biomarkers that enable reliable, non-invasive diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB), including in patients who are unable to produce sputum. The study analyzes biomaterials (blood, urine, stool, sputum) collected from patients with suspected TB. Various diagnostic methods are applied to assess the feasibility of individual and combined biomarker tests.
