NCT ID NCT04700579
First seen May 09, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at the bacteria living in the lungs of 150 adults with active tuberculosis (TB), including those also living with HIV. Researchers will collect samples from infected and healthy parts of the lung before, during, and after TB treatment to see how the bacteria change and affect the body's immune response. The goal is to understand how these microbes might help or hinder recovery, which could lead to better tests or treatments in the future. No new drugs or therapies are being tested.
