First seen Mar 01, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study aims to see if new, easy-to-use swab tests (from the mouth or tongue) can accurately detect tuberculosis (TB) when used in community settings, rather than at a clinic. The study will involve 60,000 people in Bangladesh, Cameroon, and Nigeria who are at risk for TB. The goal is to find a simpler way to diagnose TB, especially for people who have trouble providing a sputum sample.
