C-Reactive Protein As a Triage Test in Guiding Who Should Get a Confirmatory Test For Pulmonary Tuberculosis Diagnosis Among Adults: A Case-Control Proof-of-Concept Study From Urban Tanzania

2021-01-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> The current screening tools for tuberculosis (TB) are inadequate resulting in insufficient TB case detection and continued community transmission of TB.As the world in geared into finding missing TB cases, new strategies are called for to aid in rapid identification of TB cases. This study aimed to evaluate the role C-reactive protein (CRP)in triaging for who to get a definitive test for acti...
