No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of how immunity to tuberculosis (TB) is maintained in children. When children get tuberculosis, it is more likely to spread to other parts of the body than when adults get it. This study will compare the blood cells that fight TB in children to the blood cells that fight TB in adults. Children enrolled in this study will have blood drawn on 1 or 2 occasions. Adult participants will be leukapheresed, a process in which blood passes through a machine collecting specific blood cells and returning the remaining blood to the body. An estimated 260 subjects will be enrolled in this study.
