Using portable chest X-rays to screen migrants for TB
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
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 trial tests if a shorter treatment course works as well as the standard one for people whose chest X-rays suggest TB but whose sputum tests are negative. It aims to make treatment easier for patients.
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 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 trial tests a shorter, safer treatment for people with latent TB infection (TB germs in your body but not making you sick). The goal is to prevent you from getting sick with active TB later.
This study looks for tuberculosis (TB) in people with HIV who have no symptoms. It aims to understand how common hidden TB is, which could lead to better detection and prevention.
