Testing a TB diagnosis checklist for children
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Infections clinical trials.
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.
