Distinct transcriptional remodeling of immune and metabolic pathways in severe undernutrition during latent tuberculosis infection does not consistently predict tuberculosis progression across independent cohorts

Background: Undernutrition increases tuberculosis (TB) risk, but whether severe undernutrition during latent TB infection (LTBI) produces blood transcriptional changes that resemble active disease or identify future TB remains unclear. Methods: We reanalyzed whole-blood RNA seque...
