Optimising fluorescein diacetate sputum smear microscopy for assessing patients with pulmonary tuberculosis
BACKGROUND: Assessing Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) viability by fluorescein diacetate (FDA) microscopy can predict TB culture results, treatment response and infectiousness. However, diverse methods have been published. We aimed to optimise FDA microscopy, minimising sputum processing, biohazard...
