Thank you #AliceZwerling for an excellent introductory training in health economics as part of the annual Stool4TB meetings this week! Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa EDCTP Global TB Program Alex Kay ISGlobal @aighd CISM Manhiça

The Conference on #Innovations in #Tuberculosis will be held in Kampala, Uganda from 3-4 July! Focusing on #TB in Africa, the organizers highlight discussions on epidemic patterns, prevention, treatment, and healthcare systems. Learn more: academicmedicaleducation.com/meeting/confer… #TBAfricaWS

The #Stool4TB team is happy to announce that links to our publications are now available on the Stool4TB.org website. Check them out here: stool4tb.org/publications These cover our The Lancet Microbe and BMC publications but we have more coming this year!

The #Stool4tb project recently held our annual consortium meeting last April in #Mozambique. Major news surrounding an #EDCTP3 extension as well as cohort completion for the study was shared. #TB #qPCR #diagnostics You can learn more on the website: stool4tb.org/news/stool4tb-…

📢 Good news: Global Health EDCTP3 will support 8 projects with clinical trials #CTs initially funded by EDCTP! 📰 Learn more about the newly funded projects & their expected impact in our latest article. 🔗 bit.ly/3ziDtsJ

Meet the people working at #MTBI 👋🏿 Say Hi to Katia Magul, project assistant, currently involved in Stool4TB 💬"For me, it's a pleasure to be part of a biomedical research study that can help find medicines to improve the quality of life of Mozambicans and the world in general"

🖊️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. isglobal.org/en/healthisglo…

Our Paediatric Cohort (under 8) is now 75% complete! We are grateful to all the families and community members who have made reaching the milestone possible. We are on track to complete the cohort by the end of 2024! #Stool4TB EDCTP @sabine_hermans ISGlobal

🫁La prueba #XpertUltra en heces mejora la detección de #tuberculosis en niños, reduciendo retrasos en el tratamiento y salvando vidas. 📄Lee el último estudio de Stool4TB, liderado por #ISGlobal y publicado en @TheLancetMicrobe. 📌isglobal.org/-/el-uso-de-he…  #TB #SaludGlobal

Two weeks ago, Stool4TB researcher [email protected] shared some of his findings at The Union! 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.

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. Check them out: stool4tb.org/publications

PhD Researcher [email protected] was on The Union 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-… #StoolUltra #Stool4TB

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! Learn more about Stool4TB: stool4tb.org
