Could a simple blood test finally spot hidden TB?
NCT ID NCT06728930
First seen Feb 21, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for the TB bacteria itself, rather than the body's immune response. Current tests can't tell if treatment for dormant TB worked, or who will get sick later. Researchers will test 100 people with and without dormant TB to see if this new approach is accurate.
