Study of Human Tuberculosis Lesions (SH-TBL project)
The SH-TBL project aimed to perform a genetic, protein and microbiological analysis on a unique collection of biological samples of tuberculosis (TB) patients. Participants were 275 patients who underwent surgery for TB at the National Center for Tuberculosis and Lung Disease in Tbilisi, Georgia. The study began data collection in 2016, including retrospective data about patients who had surgery from 2013 to 2015, and prospective data from patients who underwent surgery from 2016 to 2018. Retrospective data was collected from hospital records and retrospective data collection took place during surgery for biological samples, at discharge, 15 days later and around 6 months after surgery.
