This study tests a new type of lab test to find TB bacteria more accurately. It is for people who are being checked for latent (hidden) TB infection, or who have just been diagnosed with active TB. The goal is to see if the new test can help doctors diagnose TB better and faster.
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 tests if a computer program that reads chest X-rays can help doctors find tuberculosis (TB) cases more effectively in community health clinics. If you have a cough or other breathing symptoms and are getting a chest X-ray, you may be able to join.
This study follows new college students with a strong reaction to a tuberculosis skin test to see if they develop the disease, and compares them to students without a strong reaction. It tests whether monitoring this group more closely can help catch tuberculosis early.
