Screening for tuberculosis in health facilities
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests new ways to screen for tuberculosis (TB) in people visiting healthcare facilities, even if they don't have symptoms. If you join, you'll be checked for TB using simple tools, and the study aims to find TB earlier so it can be treated sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 10 years old.

This trial is testing a new way to find TB in communities, using chest X-rays that are read by a computer program to spot possible TB. If you join, you'll help see if this method works better for finding TB early.
This study looks at improving the detection and care of TB in children. It aims to find children with TB earlier and help them get the right treatment faster.
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 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, 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.
