TB Screening Study for Adults and Teens
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study screens people for tuberculosis (TB), a serious lung infection, using new testing methods. Researchers want to find TB cases early so people can get treatment before the disease becomes severe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 10 years old
- You are visiting a participating health center or hospital
- You can provide written permission to be screened and followed up
- You are not currently taking TB medicines (or have taken fewer than 3 doses)
- You have not taken TB preventive medicine in the last 6 months
- You do not have signs of severe illness (very high fever, trouble breathing, or inability to walk)

This study tests a way to find TB earlier by using chest X-rays read by artificial intelligence. If you are at least 10 years old and live in a community where TB is more common, this trial may help you get tested and diagnosed quickly.
This trial helps children with tuberculosis (TB) by making sure they get the right care. It aims to see if better support can improve their treatment and recovery.
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 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 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 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.
