All participants:
1.Signed written consent or witnessed oral consent in the case of illiteracy, before undertaking any study specific activity.
Of the following, either criterions listed in 2., 3., 4., OR 5. have to be met:
2.Individuals with microbiologically confirmed TB disease:
Following standard TB diagnostics with a confirmation of MTB via culture and/or PCR OR
Are currently receiving anti-TB drugs (V2) OR
Previous TB diagnosis (non-MTB-infected)
3.Individuals exposed to and infected with MTB:
Immunological evidence of infection with MTB (IGRA positive) AND
No clinical signs for TB disease
4.Individuals with minimal risk of being exposed to MTB and/or no indication of exposure to MTB (presumed MTB-naïve):
No known/reported TB contact (e.g. health workers) AND
No rRisk of having been exposed to MTB (i.e., belonging to risk groups) AND
Without immunological evidence of infection with MTB (IGRA negative; past and present)
5.Individuals cured of TB disease after end of treatment
Successful treatment completion >6 and <12 months after previous confirmed TB disease prior to enrolment confirmed by physician AND
6 months without (self-) reported travel history to endemic regions AND
Are currently receiving anti-TB drugs
All participants:
Participants will be excluded from study participation if they meet any of the following criteria:
