Plasma Matrix Metalloproteinases Signature as Biomarkers for Pediatric Tuberculosis Diagnosis: A Prospective Case–Control Study

Plasma Matrix Metalloproteinases Signature as Biomarkers for Pediatric Tuberculosis Diagnosis: A Prospective Case–Control Study

Diagnosing tuberculosis (TB) in children presents significant challenges, necessitating the identification of reliable biomarkers for accurate diagnosis. In this study, we investigated plasma matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) as potential diagnostic...
