Comparison of tests done, and Tuberculosis cases detected by Xpert® MTB/RIF and Xpert® MTB/RIF-Ultra in Uganda

2022-04-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Uganda introduced Xpert® MTB/RIF assay into its TB diagnostic algorithm in January 2012. In July 2018, this assay was replaced with Xpert® MTB/RIF Ultra assay. We set out to compare the tests done and tuberculosis cases detected by Xpert® MTB/RIF and Xpert® MTB/RIF Ultra assay in Uganda. <h4>Methods</h4> This was a before and after study, with the tests done and TB cases detected between Jan-Ju...
