Summary
This study tested two quick screening tools for tuberculosis (TB) in 1,400 adults with symptoms like cough or fever. The tools—a chest X-ray analysis software and a blood test for inflammation—aim to rule out TB without needing lab tests. Results will help decide if these methods are accurate enough for widespread use in places like Lesotho and South Africa.
