Summary

This study will test a new blood test called PATHFAST TB LAM to see if it can quickly tell if tuberculosis (TB) treatment is working. Researchers will follow 300 adults in Kenya during their 6-month TB treatment, taking regular samples. The goal is to see if changes in a substance called LAM can predict who will recover fully and who might need a different treatment.
