摘要: Background Tuberculosis is a highly infectious disease that spread from person to by infected aerosols emitted patients with respiratory forms of the disease. We describe novel device utilizes immunosensor and bio-optical technology detect M. tuberculosis antigen (Ag85B) in cough demonstrate its use under field conditions during pilot study an area high TB incidence.
