Stool4TB

A project looking into TB diagnostics and treatment monitoring among African high TB burden countries. Focus on children and PLHIV. Funded by @edctp

[Stool4TB @Stool4TB]

Stool4TB's cohort recruitment is complete!

We have more than 1900 participants in total, showing us that communities believe in our mission to make stool-based TB testing a robust way to test for #TB across the world!

The Stool4TB team recently published two papers. The first is a systematic review on stool-based tests for paediatric #TB. The second focuses on non-sputum based testing for children and #PLHIV with TB.

Two weeks ago, Stool4TB researcher @kasule_williams shared some of his findings at @TheUnion_TBLH!

Stool Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra is a promising non-sputum diagnostic for high-burden settings. This was tested on a population of people living with #HIV and #TB.

👋🏿 Say Hi to Katia Magul, project assistant, currently involved in @Stool4TB
💬"For me, it's a pleasure to be part of a biomedical research study that can help find medicines to improve the quality of life of Mozambicans and the world in general"

[MTBI @Manhica_MTBI]

🖊️Numbers paint a grim picture of why projects like @Stool4TB are urgently needed. A 2017 study estimated that, of the 239,000 children under 15 who died from TB, around 96% did so without treatment, and of those under 5,80% were never even diagnosed.

Our Paediatric Cohort (under 8) is now 75% complete!

We are grateful to all the families and community members who have made reaching the milestone possible. We are on track to complete the cohort by the end of 2024!
