Clinical Trial: Biomarker Analysis for Diagnosing and Treatment Monitoring in Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis Patients in Nairobi, Kenya

U.S., Oct. 29 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07901387) titled 'Biomarker Analysis for Diagnosing and Treatment Monitoring in Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis Patients in Nairobi, Kenya' on Oct. 21.

Brief Summary: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health threat with high incidence, especially in Africa. The proportion of extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) can escalate up to 36% in areas with a high HIV prevalence. Effectively managing and controlling EPTB in high-burden regions, such as Kenya, faces obstacles owing to the limitations of the current diagnostic tools. Traditional methods, such as smear microscopy and culture, often fail to detect EPTB due to the paucibacillary nature of the disease and while ne...
