REFNo: HS4778ES
Overall objective: To identify individuals with undiagnosed TB, including subclinical TB, so they can be linked to care; and investigate blood biomarkers associated with TB diagnosis, particularly in populations living with HIV and other co-morbidities.
Primary Objectives:
• Identify participants with previously undiagnosed tuberculosis (TB) disease, including subclinical TB.
• Identify demographic and other participant characteristics that are associated with the diagnosis of TB, including subclinical TB.
• Investigate peripheral blood biomarkers associated with diagnosis of TB, including subclinical TB.
• Follow participants with confirmed TB for six months and identify those that remain microbiologically positive for TB.
Exploratory objectives
• Evaluate the tongue swabs as a diagnostic tool for TB.
• Determine the clinical relevance of trace results from Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra in TB diagnosis/management.
• Investigate the potential of an artificial intelligence-powered CAD system for TB diagnosis using chest radiographs.
• Assess associations of TB treatment with clinical outcomes and TB disease status.
• Evaluate the effect of TB treatment on TB-associated peripheral blood biomarkers measured after at the six-month follow-up time point.
