Amid all the bad news in Global Health, perhaps some good news? A first analysis on the risk of false positive diagnoses in community-screening for tuberculosis using Xpert shows our clinic-based data is likely (very) wrong and overestimates false positives by >80%: tinyurl.com/yfecute9.

Evaluating the impact of #TB interventions is important. Our poster for #UnionConf2024 explores the effect of contamination in cluster randomised trials and potential solutions. Full paper coming out soon in #IJTLD!
