An interventional study of sputum collection for acid fast bacilli in Pulmonary TB, sponsored by Hopital Lariboisière. Completed at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-04-28.
Sponsored by Hopital Lariboisière · Not applicable, Interventional, and Diagnostic
Tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of death among the "communicable" diseases in the world. Pulmonary TB, the main localization, leads to the dissemination of cases. An earlier diagnosis of contagious pulmonary TB is a cornerstone to stop the air transmission. The aim of the study will be to compare two strategies, in patients with a chest-X-ray in favour of contagious pulmonary TB: the classical strategy of sputa collection during three consecutive early mornings, versus the studied strategy of sputa collection at hour h, hour h+1, hour h+2 during the first early morning.
