Abstract excerpt

SETTING: In Latvia, 11% of tuberculosis (TB) patients have multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). The INNO-LiPA Rif.TB ® line-probe assay (LPA) detects rifampin (RMP) resistance and may accelerate the time to effective MDRTB treatment. OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of LPA on time to diagnosis, initiation of treatment, sputum culture conversion and treatment outcome. DESIGN: From October 2004 to September 2006, we...
