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!

PhD Researcher @kasule_williams was on @TheUnion_TBLH stage to share data on Stool4TB's stool-based test for people living with #TB and #HIV.
Check out our brief article outlining his findings: stool4tb.org/news/stool4tb-p…
#StoolUltra #Stool4TB
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.

🖊️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.
