Breath analysis for respiratory infections	2020-09-18		.txt	text/plain	5832	277	44	Indeed, recruiting those with the same symptoms in the control groups, including noninfectious disease subjects, such as sarcoidosis patients in the case of breath sampling for tuberculosis, is an increasingly essential parameter in a study design. Breath studies to diagnose bacterial infections caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) are more likely to succeed than any other approach due to the extensive groundwork done by the Belgian-Tanzanian group APOPO (Anti-Persoonsmijnen Ontmijnende Product Ontwikkeling) who have evaluated the volatiles from tens of thousands of sputum samples using trained giant Gambian rats. Beccaria and colleagues conducted two studies evaluating the use of human breath collected and stored on thermal desorption tubes and analyzed by comprehensive gas chromatographyetime-of-flight mass spectrometry (GCÂGC-TOFMS) to diagnose active TB in subjects with confirmed Mtb infection. In this particular case, however, cells inoculated with just RSV did not yield a sufficient change to the volatile profile for accurate diagnoses, providing evidence that each respiratory viral infection may have to be independently evaluated for its ability to be detected directly in breath samples.	./cache/cord-328720-o9h1vquo.txt	./txt/cord-328720-o9h1vquo.txt
