REFNo: HS1870ES
1.To recruit Ugandan children 5 years and younger (< 60 months), with and without perinatal HIV-exposure and/or infection, who are household contacts of an adult with confirmed TB disease
2.To identify immunologic phenotypes that correlate with TB disease, versus remaining asymptomatic following TB household contact, in young children with and without perinatal HIV-exposure and/or infection
3.To determine if MTB-specific T cell and/or antibody profiles can be used to distinguish TB disease from asymptomatic MTB infection, in young children with and without perinatal HIV-exposure and/or infection
4.To determine how perinatal HIV exposure/infection alters MTB-specific adaptive immune profiles
