Screening for hidden TB infection in hospital staff and students
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial checks hospital workers and certain medical students to see how many have “latent TB,” meaning TB bacteria in the body that may not cause symptoms. The goal is to better understand who might need follow-up and prevention.

This study follows children and teens with different stages of tuberculosis (TB) across Italy. It aims to learn more about how TB affects young people and improve care.
This study tests a program to find hidden (latent) tuberculosis infections in students who have been close to someone with active TB. It helps identify who might need treatment to prevent them from getting sick later.
This study looks at how the immune system and natural germs in the lungs work in people who have recently been in close contact with someone with active tuberculosis (TB). It aims to better understand how the body responds to TB exposure.
This trial tests a very short (one-month) medicine course to prevent tuberculosis (TB) in students and school staff who have been exposed to someone with active TB. If you have latent TB infection (the germs are in your body but you're not sick), this treatment aims to stop it from turning into active TB disease.
This study follows people with suspected or confirmed tuberculosis (TB), whether they have inactive “latent” TB or active TB. It helps researchers better understand TB’s natural course and may improve future testing and care by allowing collection and storage of samples.
This study looks for TB bacteria in the blood of people with active tuberculosis and their close contacts at home. It aims to find better ways to detect TB early and prevent its spread.
