A method for diagnosing tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is described herein. A fluid sample from a subject suspected of having TBM is tested for the presence of at least two of Interleukin-13 (IL-13), Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Cathelicidin (LL-37), IL- 7, IL-12p70, IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, IP-10, MIP-1a, MIP-1b, RANTES and GM-CSF. Increased levels of at least any two of these biomarkers in the sample compared to levels in subjects without TBM are indicative that the subject has TBM. |
