This trial is exploring new diagnostic methods to help doctors more easily and accurately diagnose tuberculosis (TB) in children. Instead of relying only on traditional tests that can be difficult in young patients, researchers are testing whether samples like stool or urine — which are much easier to collect — can help identify TB infection. The goal is to find faster, simpler ways to diagnose TB so more children get treated early.
Tuberculosis is a serious disease that affects many children worldwide, but doctors often miss it because traditional diagnostic tests don't work well in young patients. This study exists to find better diagnostic tools that are easier to use with children and more accurate at catching TB early, so more sick children can get the treatment they need.

If your child is enrolled, they will provide samples (likely stool, urine, or other non-invasive collections) that researchers will test using new diagnostic methods to see how well they detect tuberculosis. The study involves evaluating these samples and monitoring your child's health as part of standard TB evaluation. Researchers will work with you to make the process as comfortable and straightforward as possible for your child.
