Tuberculosis poisoning symptoms refer to obvious systemic symptoms such as fatigue, low fever in the afternoon, loss of appetite, night sweats, etc. in addition to local symptoms such as cough, chest pain, and chest tightness. Women may have endocrine system disorders, such as irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, etc.; 6) Inclusion criteria for triple-negative population: People with negative results of the first skin test on both arms and IGRA test results (i.e., negative results of EEC, TB-PPD, and IGRA tests). 2. Inclusion criteria for patients with tuberculosis (including pulmonary tuberculosis): 1) Age 3 years and above at the time of enrollment, regardless of gender; 2) Participants aged >=18 years were diagnosed with tuberculosis/pulmonary tuberculosis according to the diagnostic standard "Standard Tuberculosis Classification of the Health Industry of the People's Republic of China WS196-2017" issued by the health and health authorities of the State Council (recognizing the diagnosis made by comprehensive clinical analysis); participants aged 3-17 years were diagnosed with tuberculosis according to the "Expert Consensus on Diagnosis of Childhood Pulmonary Tuberculosis (2022 Edition)" formulated by the Children's Tuberculosis Professional Committee of the Tuberculosis Branch of the Chinese Medical Association. Including pulmonary tuberculosis and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, of which pulmonary tuberculosis includes bacteria-negative/bacteria-positive pulmonary tuberculosis and primary/relapsed pulmonary tuberculosis; patients with both pulmonary tuberculosis and extrapulmonary tuberculosis can be included and classified as pulmonary tuberculosis; 3) The individual and/or guardian agree to participate in this trial and sign the informed consent form; 4) The individual and/or guardian can comply with the requirements of the clinical trial protocol to participate in follow-up. 3. Inclusion criteria for patients with non-tuberculous lung diseases: 1) Patients with a clinical diagnosis of clear non-tuberculous lung diseases, and clinical physicians can exclude pulmonary tuberculosis and extrapulmonary tuberculosis based on the patient's clinical manifestations, imaging and laboratory tests, including pneumonia, lung cancer, bronchitis, bronchiectasis, non-tuberculous mycobacterial disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, etc.; 2) Aged 3 years and above at the time of enrollment, regardless of gender; 3) The patient and/or guardian agree to participate in this trial and sign the informed consent form; 4) The patient or guardian can comply with the requirements of the clinical trial protocol to participate in follow-up.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Exclusion criteria for the general population in the community: 1) Those with known or suspected (or high-risk) severe immune diseases, immune function damage or abnormalities (except human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] infection/AIDS), including: a. Those who received immunosuppressants (including chemotherapy) (using medium/high doses of glucocorticoids (>=20mg/d or >=0.5mg/kg/d prednisone or equivalent other hormones), and the medication time was >14 days) or immunopotentiators within 3 days before the skin test or during the trial, and those who were evaluated by the researchers to affect the efficacy of the participants; Note: For glucocorticoid drugs: topical inhalation, nasal spray, local injection, application and other external use, as well as long-term physiological replacement therapy for systemic medication such as oral, intramuscular injection, intravenous injection or intravenous drip, there are no restrictions, such as prednisone or equivalent doses of other drugs with a dose of 5 years old) or =20mg/d or >=0.5mg/kg/d), medication time>14 days) or immunoenhancers within 3 days before the skin test or during the trial, and those who are
