Hidden TB risks: study links diet, diabetes, and parasites to latent infection
NCT ID NCT04526613
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explored why some people with latent (inactive) tuberculosis (TB) are more likely to develop active TB. Researchers looked at 626 people in South India to see how malnutrition, diabetes, and worm infections might change the body's response to TB. Participants gave blood, urine, and stool samples and had physical exams. The goal was to better understand these risk factors, not to test a new treatment.
