“Acoustic epidemiology” will help transform the diagnosis of #Tuberculosis. The open CODA TB @DR_E_A_M Challenge is in its continuous #benchmarking phase, now evaluating models for generalizable performance in TB diagnosis from cough recordings. Learn more sagebionetworks.org/in-the-news/co…

#TB affected rural communities have distinct social network structures, transmission dynamics and disease elimination perspectives. Work from @CPando4 and colleagues in #BMCPublicHealth. @pasteurMG @SwissTPH @IGHSatUCSF @CentreValBio @StonyBrookMed rdcu.be/di5ja

Work we do on #DigitalCoughMonitoring @CRCHUM, @UdeM & @McGill_TB with partners such as @hyfeapp and @GoogleHealth featured in @TIME magazine. “The ultimate goal is to mine cough data to see if distinct signatures materialize that would distinguish, lung diseases”…including #TB

New paper led by @mbhall88 and collaborators! Evaluating @nanopore as a replacement/complement for Illumina for TB: drug resistance and clustering. Spoiler: you can get equivalent clustering and identical resistant predictions (with 30x depth). 1/n medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Indeed @mbehr_mcgill & @justin_denholm this is a clinical challenge. 🤔 If WHO endorses that 1.7 billion people have LTBI and an expected positive Quantiferon-TB test, is one uveitis out of 4 due to active ocular TB disease?

Justin Denholm@justin_denholm

@robshorten @mbehr_mcgill @zchagla It’s part of the diagnostic workup for paucibacillary conditions like TB uveitis, for example. Pretty limited, and the evidence for that is weak, but it’s what we’re stuck with currently.
