NCT ID NCT05989802

Summary

This study aims to find better, faster, and cheaper ways to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) in children under 15. It will test new, simple diagnostic tools that don't rely on hard-to-get sputum samples, which are a major hurdle for diagnosing kids. The goal is to speed up diagnosis and treatment to reduce the high number of childhood deaths from TB each year.
