What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study is a randomized, blinded, active-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of EEC in the diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in people aged 3 years and above. Methods: In study 1, the marketed recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein (EC) was used as a control drug in people aged 3 to 64 years. The sensitivity of EEC in participants with tuberculosis and the specificity in healthy participants and patients with non-tuberculous lung diseases were evaluated compared with recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein (EC). The clinical positivity criteria of EEC were verified, and the consistency of the two detection methods, as well as the safety of EEC, were evaluated. Study 2: Triple-negative people aged 18 and above (negative in EEC, TB-PPD, and IGRA tests) were screened out from the community population and vaccin
