Race against time: new tool aims to spot deadly TB in vulnerable kids
NCT ID NCT04240990
Summary
This study aimed to create a faster, simpler way to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) in young children who are severely malnourished and hospitalized. Researchers in Uganda and Zambia tested a combination of easy-to-collect samples and scans to develop a scoring system. The goal was to help doctors decide the same day whether to start life-saving TB treatment for these highly vulnerable children.
