Could a simple blood test revolutionize dormant TB detection?
NCT ID NCT06728930
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study evaluates a new blood test that aims to directly detect the bacteria causing dormant tuberculosis (TB), rather than relying on the body's immune response. Current tests cannot tell if treatment worked or who will develop active TB, leading to unnecessary antibiotics. Researchers will test 100 people with and without dormant TB to see if this new approach is accurate.
