Consensus statement: The inclusion of children and adolescents in TB diagnostic development and evaluation

Back to the "HIV and Co-Infections News" list

Using an online Delphi process, stakeholders from academia, industry, government, funding agencies, and advocacy achieved consensus on an approach to include children and adolescents in TB diagnostic tool development and evaluation.

Published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases*, this consensus-based framework overall seeks to encourage early partnership to facilitate communication of the unique needs of children and adolescents, and to support planning of evaluation studies to reduce delays in access and improve care for children and adolescents with TB.
