Testing a new TB blood test for diagnosis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study is testing a new blood test (IGRA) to see if it can help doctors diagnose active and latent (hidden) tuberculosis. If you are already being treated for TB and have had an IGRA blood test, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are currently being treated for tuberculosis (TB).
- You have already had a blood test for TB (an IGRA test) ordered by your doctor.

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 health workers for tuberculosis (TB) infection to better understand who is at risk. It may help find ways to protect health workers from TB.
This study looks at immune system blood tests in adults being treated for active tuberculosis and/or latent tuberculosis infection. The goal is to see if these “immune biomarkers” can help guide or improve tuberculosis management.
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 new skin test (EEC) to see if it can accurately detect tuberculosis infection in people aged 3 and older. It compares the test's results in healthy people, people with TB, and people with other lung diseases to check how well it works.
