Plasma Lipid Mediators in Tuberculosis Cases Versus Controls

Plasma lipid mediator profiles are compared between individuals who have undergone tuberculosis treatment and control subjects. The dataset is a 5.5 KB Excel file authored by Peter D. Jackson and last updated in April 2026. It contains quantitative measurements of lipid mediators for biomarker analysis.

Use Cases

• Identify lipid mediator signatures distinguishing post-treatment TB cases from controls using quantitative plasma measurements.
• Train classification models to predict TB treatment status based on concentrations of specific lipid species.
• Analyze correlations between individual lipid mediator levels and clinical outcomes in the post-treatment cohort.
• Validate potential TB biomarkers by comparing the lipidomic profile distributions between the two groups.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for reuse.
• File is a small 5.5 KB Excel workbook, facilitating quick inspection.

Limitations

• The dataset is extremely small at 5.5 KB, indicating a very limited number of samples or features.
• No information is provided on sample size, specific lipid mediators measured, or patient demographics.
• Data provenance, collection methodology, and temporal/geographic coverage are unknown.
