Diagnosis of TB, especially in the presence of an HIV co-infection, can be challenging when using conventional diagnostic methods. In this study, we analyzed global gene expression data from PBMC of patients that were either mono-infected with HIV or co-infected with HIV and TB in order to identify a TB-specific gene signature. Overall design: Total RNA obtained from PBMC from a South African cohort. Microarry analysis was performed to compare gene expression in patients either infected with HIV or co-infected with HIV/TB.
