Comparing ways to diagnose tuberculosis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study compares different ways to diagnose tuberculosis (TB), a lung infection. If you have TB symptoms or a TB diagnosis, it may help find the most reliable test for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have symptoms that could be tuberculosis (like a long cough, fever, or weight loss), or you've already been told you have TB.
- You are being seen at Assiut University Hospitals in Egypt.

This trial studies a simple blood test that looks for signs of tuberculosis before you have a bronchoscopy, a procedure that lets doctors look inside your lungs. The blood test may help doctors find tuberculosis faster and more easily.
This study looks for TB DNA in blood and urine samples to see if it can help diagnose tuberculosis (TB) more quickly. It includes people with active TB, those with a latent (hidden) TB infection, and healthy volunteers without TB.
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 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.
This study tests a new rapid test for tuberculosis (TB). It aims to see if the test can accurately detect TB in people with symptoms, which may lead to faster diagnosis and treatment.
This study compares the immune response and treatment outcomes between TB patients with a healthy immune system and those with a weakened immune system. If you have TB and a chronic chest condition, this trial will help doctors better understand how your immune system affects your TB.
