Researchers are designing a new system to better understand and categorize tuberculosis in patients. This study will collect information from people with confirmed TB diagnoses to create a more complete picture of the disease — one that considers not just the infection itself, but also a person's other health conditions and life circumstances.
Tuberculosis affects millions of people worldwide and can be complicated by other diseases and social factors. Current methods of assessing TB severity may not capture the full picture of each patient's situation, so this new approach aims to help doctors make better treatment decisions tailored to each person's needs.

You would be enrolled at your current TB treatment clinic in Barcelona, where researchers would collect information about your disease, health history, and other factors affecting your care. The study involves sharing your medical data and possibly providing samples — all as part of your routine clinical care. No special visits or procedures beyond standard TB treatment are described.
