  • Acceptability of tongue swabs for tuberculosis screening in migrant settings in northern Italy

    Open AccessRenée Codsi, Francesca Saluzzo et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Human migrations, driven by economic hardship, conflict, and climate change, complicate the global fight against tuberculosis (TB). New strategies are needed to improve the screening of migrants for active TB disease. Current sputum-based testing methods are logistically challenging in many settings. Alternative sampling with tongue swabs is designed to be easier than sputum collection and exhibits acceptable accuracy. This study characterized th…

  • Preferences of healthcare workers using tongue swabs for tuberculosis diagnosis during Covid-19

    Open AccessRenée Codsi, Nicole A Errett et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Healthcare workers (HCWs) who come into contact with tuberculosis (TB) patients are at elevated risk of TB infection and disease. The collection and handling of sputum samples for TB diagnosis poses exposure risks to HCWs, particularly in settings where aerosol containment is limited. An alternative sample collection method, tongue swabbing, was designed to help mitigate this risk, and is under evaluation in multiple settings. This study assessed…
