Performance of Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests for Diagnosis of Tuberculosis in a Large Urban Setting

29 May 2009

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) relies on acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear and culture results. Two rapid tests that use nucleic acid amplification (NAA) have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the diagnosis of TB based on detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from specimens obtained from the respiratory tract. We evaluated the performance of NAA testing under field conditions in...
