Tuberculosis: laboratory diagnosis.

Abstract excerpt

Delay in laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) is a major obstacle in TB control programs. There is an imperative need for scale-up of peripheral health care laboratories with conventional and molecular technologies for rapid and reliable diagnosis of TB. A cost-effective diagnostic algorithm for rapid diagnosis of TB should be implemented and followed, thereby reducing cost burden on patients.
