Integrating Tuberculosis and COVID-19 Molecular Testing in Lima, Peru

2022-07-27

Abstract excerpt

Background: Tuberculosis case notifications have plummeted since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Integrated molecular testing could be an opportunity to detect and provide care for both diseases. Many high tuberculosis burden countries have existing GeneXpert networks for tuberculosis testing using Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra (Ultra), and a GeneXpert SARS-CoV-2 assay, Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2 (Xpress), is also available. We a...
