Parameter
| Biomarker | MLR | Full name | Monocyte to lymphocyte ratio | Molecular Type | Inflammation-related ratio (cellular level) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Molecular Formula | / | Molecular Weight | / | Core Functional Dimensions | Diagnosis, screening |
| Disease | tuberculosis | Disease Subtypes | / | ||
| Organ | Lung | Test Sample / Technology Platform | Blood (routine blood test) | ||
| Pathobiological Mechanisms | MTB predominantly infects myeloid cells, resulting in an increase in monocytes relative to lymphocytes | ||||
| Clinical Availability Status | Study validation: Shows high sensitivity and specificity in pediatric HIV patients and adults with or without HIV infection | ||||
| Notes and Dynamics | It is more specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is a potential biomarker that needs to be further validated with microbiological markers | ||||
