NCT ID NCT07210970
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test 200 adults on regular hemodialysis at Sohag University Hospital for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) using a simple skin test. The goal is to find out how many dialysis patients carry the bacteria without symptoms, so doctors can better prevent active TB in this vulnerable group. Participants will receive a tuberculin skin test and be checked for a reaction after 48–72 hours.
