Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests for Diagnosis of Smear-Negative TB in a High HIV-Prevalence Setting: A Prospective Cohort Study
BACKGROUND: Nucleic acid amplification tests are sensitive for identifying Mycobacterium tuberculosis in populations with positive sputum smears for acid-fast bacilli, but less sensitive in sputum-smear-negative populations. Few studies have evaluated the clinical impact of these tests in low-income...
