His research integrates issues of Transmission, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Incidence in his study of Immunology.
He works mostly in the field of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, limiting it down to concerns involving Lung injury and, occasionally, Cellular immunity, Pathogenesis and Epidemiology.
His most cited work include:
- The natural history of childhood intra-thoracic tuberculosis: a critical review of literature from the pre-chemotherapy era. (517 citations)
- Tuberculous meningitis: a uniform case definition for use in clinical research (423 citations)
- A critical review of interventions to redress the inequitable distribution of healthcare professionals to rural and remote areas. (322 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Ben J. Marais focuses on Tuberculosis, Pediatrics, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Disease and Intensive care medicine.
His Tuberculosis study combines topics in areas such as Surgery, Internal medicine, Epidemiology, Immunology and Drug resistance.
His Pediatrics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Incidence, Retrospective cohort study and Pneumonia.
Ben J. Marais interconnects Multiple drug resistance, Rifampicin, Virology, Whole genome sequencing and Genotype in the investigation of issues within Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
His Disease study incorporates themes from Chest radiograph, Public health and Environmental health.
His work carried out in the field of Intensive care medicine brings together such families of science as Transmission, Latent tuberculosis and Global health.
He most often published in these fields:
- Tuberculosis (71.01%)
- Pediatrics (37.18%)
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis (28.15%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Tuberculosis, Intensive care medicine, Internal medicine, Disease and Mycobacterium tuberculosis are his primary areas of study.
His Tuberculosis research includes themes of Incidence, Epidemiology, Public health, Pediatrics and Drug resistance.
His Pediatrics research incorporates elements of Severity of illness and Pneumonia.
His Intensive care medicine research integrates issues from Antibiotic use and Childhood tuberculosis.
His Disease study combines topics in areas such as Clinical trial, Outbreak, Inclusion, Dosing and Global health.
His studies deal with areas such as Transmission and Whole genome sequencing as well as Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Internal medicine
- Disease
- Tuberculosis
Ben J. Marais focuses on Tuberculosis, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, Intensive care medicine, Coronavirus disease 2019 and 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak.
He is involved in the study of Tuberculosis that focuses on Mycobacterium tuberculosis in particular.
His research investigates the connection between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and topics such as Drug resistance that intersect with issues in Ethionamide, Isoniazid and Environmental health.
In his study, Vaccination, Epidemic control, Rural area and Multiple drug resistance is inextricably linked to Transmission, which falls within the broad field of Intensive care medicine.
Ben J. Marais focuses mostly in the field of Coronavirus disease 2019, narrowing it down to topics relating to Public health and, in certain cases, Rehabilitation, Psychological intervention, Infectious disease and Epidemic spread.
His 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Immunology and Pneumonia.
