However, in high TB prevalence areas, few studies used standardised tools to assess both sociodemographic characteristics and accessible biomarkers comprehensively. This study aimed to describe the sociodemographic, radiographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics associated with pulmonary TB (PTB) in patients with presumed pulmonary TB (pPTB).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>DESIGN<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional study was conducted at a public health centre in Duque de Caxias, Brazil, involving patients with pPTB from September 2017 to February 2020.
