This study tests whether using a portable chest X-ray can help quickly find tuberculosis (TB) in people who recently moved to the United States. By offering this simple screening, the trial aims to catch TB early so it can be treated and prevent its spread.
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 looks at how common tuberculosis is in pregnant and new mothers. It aims to improve TB detection and care for women in Guinea-Bissau.
This study looks at immune system blood tests in adults being treated for active tuberculosis and/or latent tuberculosis infection. The goal is to see if these “immune biomarkers” can help guide or improve tuberculosis management.
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 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.
