Lessons Learned from Early Implementation and Scale-up of Stool-Based Xpert Testing to Diagnose Tuberculosis in Children
Klinkenberg E, de Haas P, Manyonge C, Namutebi J, Mujangi B, Mutunzi H, et al.
Emerg Infect Dis . 2025 Mar; 31(3):1-9. PMID: 40023826
In 2020, fecal (stool) testing was recommended for diagnosing Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) infection in children by using the Cepheid Xpert MTB/RIF assay; since then, countries have begun implementing stool-based...

Paving the Way to Innovative, Child-Friendly Pediatric Diagnostic Methods for Tuberculosis: Introduction of Stool-Based Testing in Ukraine
Diuzheva O, Skoklyuk L, Zherebko N, Barbova A, Germanovych M, Klinkenberg E, et al.
Trop Med Infect Dis . 2024 Sep; 9(9). PMID: 39330898
Like many countries, Ukraine faces challenges with diagnosing tuberculosis (TB) in children due to the paucibacillary nature of the disease and difficulty obtaining respiratory samples. To improve diagnostic efficiency, stool...

Diagnostic accuracy, feasibility and acceptability of stool-based testing for childhood tuberculosis
Yenew B, de Haas P, Babo Y, Diriba G, Sherefdin B, Bedru A, et al.
ERJ Open Res . 2024 May; 10(3). PMID: 38770005
Background: Childhood tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis remains challenging, partly because children cannot provide sputum. This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of the Simple One-Step (SOS) stool method with Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra...

Prevalence of subclinical pulmonary tuberculosis in adults in community settings: an individual participant data meta-analysis
Stuck L, Klinkenberg E, Abdelgadir Ali N, Basheir Abukaraig E, Adusi-Poku Y, Wagaw Z, et al.
Lancet Infect Dis . 2024 Mar; 24(7):726-736. PMID: 38490237
Background: Subclinical pulmonary tuberculosis, which presents without recognisable symptoms, is frequently detected in community screening. However, the disease category is poorly clinically defined. We explored the prevalence of subclinical pulmonary...

Tobacco smoking clusters in households affected by tuberculosis in an individual participant data meta-analysis of national tuberculosis prevalence surveys: Time for household-wide interventions?
Hamada Y, Quartagno M, Law I, Malik F, Bonsu F, Adetifa I, et al.
PLOS Glob Public Health . 2024 Feb; 4(2):e0002596. PMID: 38422092
Tuberculosis (TB) and non-communicable diseases (NCD) share predisposing risk factors. TB-associated NCD might cluster within households affected with TB requiring shared prevention and care strategies. We conducted an individual participant...

Evaluation of COVID-19 antigen rapid diagnostic tests for self-testing in Lesotho and Zambia
Bresser M, Erhardt R, Shanaube K, Simwinga M, Mahlatsi P, Belus J, et al.
PLoS One . 2024 Feb; 19(2):e0280105. PMID: 38422077
Introduction: The use of antigen rapid tests (Ag-RDTs) for self-testing is an important element of the COVID-19 control strategy and has been widely supported. However, scale-up of self-testing for COVID-19...

Tuberculosis prevalence after 4 years of population-wide systematic TB symptom screening and universal testing and treatment for HIV in the HPTN 071 (PopART) community-randomised trial in Zambia and South Africa: A cross-sectional survey (TREATS)
Klinkenberg E, Floyd S, Shanaube K, Mureithi L, Gachie T, de Haas P, et al.
PLoS Med . 2023 Sep; 20(9):e1004278. PMID: 37682971
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) prevalence remains persistently high in many settings, with new or expanded interventions required to achieve substantial reductions. The HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 071 (PopART) community-randomised trial...

Association of diabetes, smoking, and alcohol use with subclinical-to-symptomatic spectrum of tuberculosis in 16 countries: an individual participant data meta-analysis of national tuberculosis prevalence surveys
Hamada Y, Quartagno M, Law I, Malik F, Bonsu F, Adetifa I, et al.
EClinicalMedicine . 2023 Sep; 63:102191. PMID: 37680950
Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and NCD risk factors, such as smoking, increase the risk for tuberculosis (TB). Data are scarce on the risk of prevalent TB associated with these factors...

Assessment of non-tuberculosis abnormalities on digital chest x-rays with high CAD4TB scores from a tuberculosis prevalence survey in Zambia and South Africa
Ngosa D, Moonga G, Shanaube K, Jacobs C, Ruperez M, Kasese N, et al.
BMC Infect Dis . 2023 Aug; 23(1):518. PMID: 37553658
Background: Chest X-rays (CXRs) have traditionally been used to aid the diagnosis of TB-suggestive abnormalities. Using Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) algorithms, TB risk is quantified to assist with diagnostics. However, CXRs...

Creating access to SARS-CoV-2 screening and testing through community-based COVID-19 case-finding, observations from cross-sectional studies in Lesotho and Zambia
Klinkenberg E, Katende B, Ruperez M, Bresser M, Kangololo B, Bwalya J, et al.
BMC Public Health . 2023 Jul; 23(1):1414. PMID: 37488552
Background: The health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic largely depends on the ability of the healthcare systems to develop effective and adaptable preparedness and mitigation strategies. A collaborative initiative (BRCCH-EDCTP...
