一项新的研究发现,肺结核测试的缺陷可能造成广泛的误诊,威胁全球的控制努力。 A new study finds flaws in TB tests may cause widespread misdiagnosis, threatening global control efforts.

一项新的研究令人担心的是,由于现有检测方法的缺陷,许多结核病诊断可能不准确,可能导致过度诊断和诊断不足。 A new study raises concerns that many tuberculosis diagnoses may be inaccurate due to flaws in current testing methods, potentially leading to both overdiagnosis and underdiagnosis. 研究人员警告说,这些不一致的情况可能导致不当待遇、延迟护理和公共卫生数据缺陷,破坏全球结核病控制工作。 Researchers warn these inconsistencies could result in improper treatment, delayed care, and flawed public health data, undermining global TB control efforts. 调查结果突出表明,迫切需要更可靠、更标准化的诊断——特别是在负担沉重、资源有限的区域——尽管准确的误诊断规模仍然不明确。 The findings highlight the urgent need for more reliable, standardized diagnostics—especially in high-burden, resource-limited regions—though the exact scale of misdiagnosis remains unclear.
