Using an algorithm to stage tuberculosis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial helps doctors organize and “stage” tuberculosis (TB) using a structured approach. It may improve how care decisions are made by using confirmed TB information and donated samples/data.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of tuberculosis (any TB type).
- Your TB test is positive on one of these: AFB, GenXpert, or a TB culture.
- Your TB care is currently managed at one of these hospitals: Vall d'Hebron-Drassanes or Germans Trias i Pujol (Servicios Clínicos).
- You must be willing to consent to share your TB data and samples for the study.

This trial offers free tuberculosis (TB) testing for people who are at high risk for the disease. It aims to find TB early so it can be treated quickly.
This study is creating a score to predict tuberculosis in hospitalized patients. By joining, you help doctors better identify who needs TB testing and treatment.
This study tests rapid TB screening and lab-style diagnostic methods to see how well they find TB disease and TB that is resistant to rifampin (a key TB drug). It may help doctors diagnose TB faster and more accurately, especially in people at higher risk.
This study tests new tools that can check for tuberculosis (TB) more quickly at or near where care happens. It includes people with cough or TB risk factors, and also the health workers who perform TB testing, to see how well the tests work and how easy they are to use.
This trial tests a special nursing care program for people with tuberculosis. It aims to improve how care is given at the hospital and at home, possibly making treatment easier to follow and more supportive.
This study is testing new ways to quickly diagnose TB in children under 15. It aims to find better tests that can be used at clinics, especially for kids who may not have obvious symptoms.
