Tuberculosis remains a significant global health issue. Sputum smear microscopy has low sensitivity, making it difficult to diagnose. Analysis of miRNA from EBC (exhaled breath condensate) offers a potential non-invasive diagnostic method that could improve sensitivity and specificity for TB detecti...
