Performance of an Xpert-based diagnostic algorithm for the rapid detection of drug-resistant tuberculosis among high-risk populations in a low-incidence setting.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2018

Chiang Ting-Yi, Fan Shin-Yuan, Jou Ruwen

Abstract excerpt

Timely diagnosis of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is beneficial for case treatment and management. We implemented an algorithm to improve molecular diagnostic utilization to intensify DR-TB case findings. The GeneXpert MTB/RIF (Xpert) test was used for initial diagnosis. Samples with Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC)-positive and rifampicin resistance (RR) results were subsequently and...
