Summary

Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health concern, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), where resources for healthcare are often limited. While CXR is the standard imaging modality for TB diagnosis, its sensitivity and specificity can vary depending on factors such as the stage of the disease and the quality of the image obtained. This study endeavors to assess the diagnostic precision of Chest Ultrasound (CUS) relative to Chest X-ray (CXR) and CAD score in the detection of Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) among both index cases and household contacts.
