Lung health and germs in people exposed to TB
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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 study explores the experiences of people diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) in the last 10 years, including active or latent TB. It aims to understand how stigma affects daily life and how people respond, which could help improve support for others.
This study looks at how the immune system reacts in people with tuberculosis (TB), their close contacts, people with other lung diseases, and healthy volunteers. It aims to find better ways to diagnose and manage TB.
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.
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 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 new, faster ways to detect tuberculosis (TB) using phlegm, tongue swabs, or urine. It aims to find a simpler and more accurate test than current ones, which could help you get the right treatment sooner.
