Usability and acceptability of a novel TB infection diagnostic test among key populations in Mexicali
Tuberculin skin test (TST) remains the standard-of-care test for TB infection in many high TB-burden settings. Despite existing diagnostics overcoming challenges associated with TST implementation, there has been poor uptake programmatically. We conducted formative research into patients’ and providers’ perceptions of acceptability and usability of a novel IGRA test, called QIAreach QuantiFERON TB (or, QIAreach), compared to TST in a programmatic…
Age- and sex-specific care cascades to detect gaps in the care of children with tuberculosis in Bangladesh
Background: Programmatic interventions to increase the detection of children with tuberculosis (TB) are rarely evaluated to understand age- and sex-specific completion rates. We applied modified TB screening and treatment cascade frameworks to assess indicators of effective implementation by age and sex of a TB screening program for children (zero to 14 years) in Bangladesh. Methods: tests. Results: In total, we screened 552 182 males and 461 419…
A costing framework to compare tuberculosis infection tests
OBJECTIVE: To develop a framework to estimate the practical costs incurred from, and programmatic impact related to, tuberculosis (TB) infection testing-tuberculin skin tests (TST) versus interferon gamma release assay (IGRA)-in a densely populated high-burden TB area. METHODS: We developed a seven-step framework that can be tailored to individual TB programmes seeking to compare TB infection (TBI) diagnostics to inform decision-making. We presen…
Self-testing for Covid-19 in Durban and Eastern Cape, South Africa
Innovative diagnostic solutions are essential to improve COVID-19 case detection and slow its spread in resource-constrained settings. To understand how South African communities may utilise rapid SARS-CoV-2 antigen self-testing and react to self-test results, we conducted a qualitative study, involving semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions, of healthcare workers, representatives of civil society groups, and potential self-testin…
