Abstract
In this data article, we present Raman spectroscopy (RS) and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) data obtained using an InVia Reflex confocal Raman microscope (Renishaw; Wottonunder-Edge, UK) and processed using WiRE (TM) 4.2 software. The data include RS and SERS spectra detected, after removal of albumin, from the serum proteome of tuberculosis (TB) patient categories and controls (active tuberculosis; ATB, latent tuberculosis; LTBI, TB-exposed persons with undetected infection; EC, healthy controls; HC) using 532 nm and 785 nm laser wavelengths for RS and 785 nm for SERS. The RS and SERS data had high reproducibility (SERS; R-2 = 0.988, RS at 785 nm; R-2 = 0.972, RS at 532 nm; R-2 = 0.9150). This data can be used for analysis of proteomic spectra based on RS and SERS for TB diagnosis and can also be compared to other populations. The spectral dataset based on normal, healthy control groups might be used as the control data for analysis of other diseases using RS and SERS approaches. (C) 2019 The Author(s).
