Cough sound test to quickly triage possible tuberculosis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial checks whether listening to your cough on an audio recording can help triage—meaning sort—people who may have tuberculosis (TB). If you have had a cough for at least two weeks, the study may help doctors decide who needs further TB testing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be at least 12 years old
- You have had a cough for at least two weeks
- You agree to participate and sign the consent form

This study tests new, faster ways to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) using samples like sputum (mucus from your lungs), tongue swabs, and urine. It aims to see if these new tests can find TB more accurately than current methods, which could help you get the right treatment sooner.
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.
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 study aims to find more cases of tuberculosis (TB) in people with symptoms like cough, phlegm, or weight loss. If you may have TB, this trial will help diagnose and treat you sooner.
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 ways to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) in both children and adults who have symptoms like a long-lasting cough. It aims to find better tools to detect TB early and help people get the right treatment faster.
