Abstract Non-sputum-based tests are urgently needed for rapid tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis. While the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends C-reactive protein (CRP) in serum as a TB screening tool for people living with HIV, it falls short of meeting the minimum target product profile (TPP) criteria for a triage test. We hypothesized that combining CRP with Myeloperoxidase (MPO) as a two-protein signature, would diagnose TB with improved accuracy.
