Neues #Diagnostik-Tool, das unter Mitwirkung der #DZIF_Forschenden@OlbrichLaura und Norbert Heinrich entwickelt wurde, ermöglicht verbesserte #Tuberkulose-Diagnose bei Kindern. Weltweit sterben etwa 240.000 Kinder unter fünf Jahren an #TB. https://t.co/6XsQgWZWNm #Tuberkulose
#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.

🦠🩸 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

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.
