Researchers are trying to understand how different types of mycobacterial infections — including tuberculosis and related bacteria — change your immune system before and after treatment. This study will collect blood samples, and sometimes fluid or breath samples, from people with active tuberculosis, latent tuberculosis infection, tuberculosis affecting the lung lining, and nontuberculous mycobacterial infections. By studying these samples, doctors hope to create personalized treatment plans that work better for each patient.
Tuberculosis and similar bacterial infections remain a serious global health problem, and some strains have become resistant to standard medications. Researchers need to better understand how these infections affect the immune system so they can develop more effective, tailored treatment strategies for different patients.

You will visit the hospital to have blood samples taken within 3 days before you start treatment for your infection. Depending on your diagnosis, you may also provide samples of fluid from around your lungs or exhaled breath condensate. Then, 2–3 months after you begin treatment, you will return for follow-up blood samples. The researchers will use advanced lab technology to analyze how your immune system has changed throughout your treatment.
