The experimental tests described are very interesting. However, further investigation and randomized clinical trials are needed to improve the sensitivity and specificity of these new research-based tests. More reliable proofs-of-concept and simplification of technical procedures are necessary to develop new diagnostic tools for identifying TBI patients and those that will progress from infection to TB disease.
