简要总结

Childhood tuberculosis (TB) accounts for 11% of the total 9 million annual TB cases and the difficulty of its diagnosis is increased in case of HIV infection in children.

The aim of this study is to improve TB diagnosis in HIV-infected children by developing a new diagnostic algorithm incorporating new tools available such as:

  • interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs), as alternative to the tuberculin skin test
  • alternative specimen collection methods such as string test (or Enterotest (R)), nasopharyngeal aspirates and stools samples, as alternatives to gastric aspirate
  • the Xpert MTB/RIF assay

结局指标

主要结局

Tuberculosis diagnostic algorithm

时间窗: 3 years

Development of an effective diagnostic algorithm for pediatric tuberculosis after evaluating the following diagnostic tests and sampling methods: * Clinical examination * Chest X-rays * Abdominal ultrasound * IGRAs * Xpert MTB/RIF * Gastric aspirate * String test * Nasopharyngeal aspirate * Stools sample * Sputum samples

次要结局

  • Evaluation of the QuantiFERON(R)-TB Gold In-Tube(6 months)
  • Comparison of two in-vitro IGRAs(6 months)
  • Percentage of TB diagnosis sampling procedures actually performed(6 months)
  • Evaluation of the morbidity (IRIS, drug toxicity and other opportunistic infections) and mortality in TB-HIV co-infected children(at 6 month of TB treatment)
  • Specificity and sensibility of TB diagnosis sampling procedures compared to TB diagnosis gold standard (sputum or gastric aspirate culture)(6 months)
  • Evaluation of the Xpert MTB/RIF assay(6 months)
  • Comparison of the Xpert MTB/RIF test to the gold standard (culture of gastric aspirates or sputum)(6 months)
  • Comparison of the performance Xpert MTB/RIF assay on sampling methods other than the reference method (gastric aspirate and sputum)(6 months)
