Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: The teste rápido molecular para tuberculose (TRM-TB) was introduced in 2014 in Brazil for tuberculosis screening. However, its role in adolescents in Brazil has not been studied. METHODS: A descriptive study of adolescents with suspected tuberculosis using National Laboratory software. RESULTS: Of 852 (15.4%) suspected cases, 131 were positive by TRM-TB and 2% were resistant to rifampicin. Among...
