This trial uses a portable x-ray machine to quickly check for tuberculosis (TB) in people who recently moved to the US. It aims to make TB screening easier and faster for migrants.
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 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 at how to best manage latent tuberculosis (TB) infection using a test that finds people at risk. It aims to help doctors and patients make better decisions together.
This study looks at how common tuberculosis (TB) is in pregnant and new mothers in Guinea-Bissau. If you join, you'll help researchers understand the TB burden in your community, which may lead to better care for mothers and babies.
