Validation and Development of Affordable Sweat Test for TB Diagnosis

This project aims to evaluate the usefulness of sweat in early and accurate diagnosis. Sweat, a common symptom in TB, is been used extensively in cystic fibrosis. This idea will assist in global plan to control TB. It helps patients take a pro-active role in diagnosis at very little expense, so it can be involved early in the diagnostic process. We hope that a TB sweat test will be developed if this idea is successful in Nigeria.
