Key Points

Modified gastric aspirate and induced sputum testing increases the detection of pulmonary tuberculosis in children, which is critical for timely treatment.
The key diagnostic method here is CBNAAT, which demonstrates a significant improvement in identifying tuberculosis cases.
This observational analysis focuses on pediatric patients, providing insights into tuberculosis management in this vulnerable population.
The findings underscore the need for enhanced diagnostic strategies for tuberculosis, especially in settings where children are at higher risk.
