Summary

This study aims to find better ways to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) in children and young teens. It will test new tools like computer-aided chest X-ray reading and non-sputum samples (easier to collect than phlegm) in Bangladesh, Cameroon, Kenya, and Vietnam. About 7,920 participants aged 14 and under will be enrolled to see how accurate, practical, and cost-effective these methods are.
