Official title
Rapid Characterization of Mycobacteria and Drug Resistance In Paucibacillary TB
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study will test a method of detecting tuberculosis-causing bacteria that are resistant to current medication treatments. Blood samples will be collected from patients from 3 sites and 3 mainly Hispanic populations in Texas, Mexico, and Colombia. Up to 780 males and females, ages 18-85 years, will participate. The study population will consist of 390 people with any of 3 forms of tuberculosis (TB) and 390 people who are either healthy or with a disease initially thought to be one of these 3 forms of TB but then ruled out. Volunteers will only be contacted, invited to participate and interviewed at the beginning of their evaluation for possible TB.The study team will follow up with the health department to determine if the volunteer was indeed diagnosed with TB, and with the laboratory to determine the results of TB tests at diagnosis and during the course of treatment.
