dc.description.abstract | The dual challenge of low diagnostic sensitivity of microscopy test and technical challenge of
performing a TB culture test poses a problem for case detection and initiation of Tuberculosis (TB) second-line
treatment. There is thus need for a rapid, reliable and easily accessible assay. This comparative analysis was
performed to assess diagnostic performance characteristics of GeneXpert MTB/RIF and Line Probe Assay (LPA) | en_US |
