Multi-centric evaluation of Truenat MTB and MTB-RIF Dx assays for diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis
Abstract Extra-pulmonary TB (EPTB) is difficult to diagnose due to paucibacillary nature of disease.Current study evaluated accuracy of Truenat MTB and MTB-Rif Dx (TN), for detection of Mycobacterium g35 coupe fender tuberculosis and resistance to rifampicin.Samples were collected from 2103 treatment naive adults with presumptive EPTB, and tested b
