The utility of point-of-care urinary lipoarabinomannan testing for the diagnosis of tuberculosis in critically ill patients: a prospective observational study  

2020-12-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Tuberculosis is a major global public health concern. Patients with tuberculosis who require critical care have a high mortality and delay in initiating anti-tuberculous therapy is associated with increased mortality. Lipoarabinomannan (LAM) is a lipopolysaccharide found in the cell wall of mycobacterium tuberculosis . Urinary LAM may be used as a bedside diagnostic test for tuberculosis. <h4...
