Comparison of GeneXpert and Line Probe Assay for Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Rifampicin-Mono resistance at the National Tuberculosis Reference Laboratory, Kenya

2019-10-02

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background: The dual challenge of low diagnostic sensitivity of microscopy test and technical challenge of performing a TB culture test poses a problem for case detection and initiation of Tuberculosis (TB) second-line treatment. There is thus need for a rapid, reliable and easily accessible assay. This comparative analysis was performed to assess diagnostic performance characteristics...
