Finding TB cases with cough, sputum, or weight loss
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
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 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.
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 aims to better understand how the immune system responds to tuberculosis (TB) and improve tools for diagnosing and managing the disease. It may help people with active TB, their close contacts, people with certain other lung diseases, or healthy individuals.
