#Children die of #TB due to missed diagnosis. Novel non-sputum test are urgently needed. RaPaed-TB tested a three-gene host response assay using fingerstick blood. thelancet.com/journals/lanin… @TheLancetInfDis

🦠🩸 A multicenter study reveals the diagnostic accuracy of a three-gene Mycobacterium tuberculosis host response cartridge using fingerstick blood. 🌍 Promising news for low-income and middle-income countries in the fight against TB. 🤝 @EDCTP @CISPOC_DPCM @instituto_ins

#Tuberculosis in #children is often misdiagnosed or not diagnosed in time. An international research consortium led by LMU has now tested a promising new analytical tool that needs just a small blood sample from the fingertip. @TheLancetInfDis lmu.de/en/newsroom/ne…

Check our diagnostic accuracy study protocol in Ped. TB: Rapid and Accurate Diagnosis of Pediatric Tuberculosis: The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal. Yes! We can end TB. journals.lww.com/pidj/Fulltext/… @OlbrichLaura @NoHeinrich @DFloripes @NNtinginya @instituto_ins @EDCTP @FINDdx
