Cost-effectiveness of GeneXpert Compared to Smear Microscopy for Diagnosis of Tuberculosis in Ethiopia

2020-07-29

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Early diagnosis is one of the pillars of the TB (TB) control, and there are strong efforts to detect and treat cases in Ethiopia. Smear microscopy testing has been a routine test for the diagnosis of pulmonary TB in resource-constrained settings for a long time. Recently, many countries, including Ethiopia, are scaling up the use of GeneXpert without a precise evaluation of...
