Xpert MTB/RIF Use Is Associated With Earlier Treatment Initiation and Culture Conversion Among Patients With Sputum Smear-Negative Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis
BACKGROUND: Although rapid molecular diagnostic tests for tuberculosis (TB) have decreased detection time of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and drug resistance, whether their use improves clinical care and outcomes is uncertain. To address these knowledge gaps, we evaluated whether use of the Xpert MTB/...
