Abstrakt: | A recent study conducted in Nigeria by the KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation focused on the burden of subclinical tuberculosis (TB) in the country. The research involved a large-scale systematic TB screening project in six states of Nigeria, revealing that 3.3% of the TB cases identified were classified as subclinical TB. The study emphasized the importance of using diagnostic tools beyond symptom-based screening to detect these cases, which would have otherwise been missed. The findings highlight the significance of incorporating bacteriological tests and clinical reviews, particularly chest X-rays, in identifying subclinical TB cases in Nigeria.
