Sponsor's own description

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease affecting the lungs that is caused by a germ spread by coughing. TB infection is currently diagnosed by a skin test that has limited accuracy. The purpose of this study is to look at the reliability of a new blood test for diagnosing TB infection in children. Study participants will include 300 HIV-infected (HIV infection is a viral infection that causes disease which destroys the body's ability to protect itself from infection and disease.) children and 500 HIV-uninfected children, ages 3 months to 5 years, residing in the Khayelitsha and Ravensmead/Uitsig Communities of the Western Cape Province, South Africa. Study procedures will include questionnaires, HIV and TB testing, which will be performed by blood and skin tests. Participants may be involved in study related procedures for up to 24 months.
