First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study explores whether a blood test that detects tiny pieces of TB DNA (called cell-free DNA) can be used to track how well tuberculosis treatment is working. Researchers will enroll 140 adults in Thailand, including newly diagnosed TB patients and healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if this DNA test can provide a faster, more sensitive way to monitor treatment response than current methods.
