The World Health Organization has issued new recommendations on innovative TB diagnostic strategies. These include near point-of-care molecular tests, the use of tongue swab samples to simplify collection, and sputum pooling approaches to improve testing efficiency, including for rifampicin-resistant TB.

These advancements aim to expand access and improve the timeliness and accuracy of TB diagnosis.
