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.

Very happy and proud day - @aschwalbc.bsky.social has passed his PhD viva today with flying colours. Never in doubt, but still a fantastic achievement. Thanks also to co-supervisors @kchorton.bsky.social and Cesar Ugarte-Gil.
