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, 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 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 is testing a new way to diagnose TB in children using simple symptom checklists. It aims to see if these checklists can help doctors find TB earlier and more accurately, especially in children who are very young or have other health problems.
