Description:
Stored Plasma/Serum/PBMCs: Participants who consent to have additional samples stored for future testing will have serum, plasma and PBMCs stored . Possible uses of plasma include assessment of host genetics profiles, including HLA profile, additional viral load assays.Possible uses of serum include additional safety serology and evaluation of suspected IRIS on participants where indicated. The PBMCs will be used to test for IRIS/PR when suspected.
Other potential tests that may be performed on the stored specimens include new generation assays of immunity.
Stored Sputum Isolates :RFLP testing will be performed from stored bacterial isolates on all positive cultures in which recurrence is suspected and compared to the initial positive culture used to diagnose the TB initially.
Other potential tests that may be performed on the stored specimens include new generation assays of immunity.
Stored Sputum Isolates :RFLP testing will be performed from stored bacterial isolates on all positive cultures in which recurrence is suspected and compared to the initial positive culture used to diagnose the TB initially.
