Evaluation of non-sputum-based diagnostics for pediatric tuberculosis: the Pediatric TB Diagnostic (PDTBDx) cohort protocol

2026-04-03

Abstract excerpt

Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children and adolescents, causing 172,000 deaths in 2024 in children and adolescents worldwide. Diagnostic challenges are pronounced in pediatrics, in which collecting respiratory specimens is challenging and TB is often paucibacillary, leading to delayed diagnosis and increased mortality. We describe the protocol and methodology of the Pediatr...
