Performance of Frontloading for Smear Microscopy in the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A Cross-Sectional Study at a Referral Hospital in Uganda

OBJECTIVE: To compare the performance of frontloading and the standard WHO method for diagnosis of pulmonary TB at Mulago Hospital in order to validate the technique in this setting. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study in which 229 adult (≥18 years) TB suspects were consecutively enrolled. Sus...
