Understanding TB Stigma Experiences in Rural UK Communities
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study asks people with tuberculosis (TB) about their personal experiences and how stigma affects their daily life. Researchers want to understand the social and emotional impact of a TB diagnosis to help improve support for patients.

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 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 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 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 aims to better understand how the immune system responds to tuberculosis (TB) and improve tools for diagnosing and managing the disease. It may help people with active TB, their close contacts, people with certain other lung diseases, or healthy individuals.
This study compares the health of people with NTM lung disease (not on antibiotics) to people with bronchiectasis (who have never had NTM infection). It aims to understand how these conditions affect daily life.
