Accuracy of tongue swab testing using Xpert MTB-RIF Ultra for tuberculosis diagnosis

2022-02-22

Abstract excerpt

Tongue dorsum swabs have shown promise as alternatives to sputum for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Some of the most encouraging results have come from studies that used manual quantitative PCR (qPCR) to analyze swabs. Studies using the automated Cepheid Xpert® MTB/RIF Ultra qPCR test (Xpert Ultra) have yielded less encouraging results with tongue swabs, po...
