Paediatric Tuberculosis Diagnosis Using Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

2021-01-23

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background:</bold>Rapid and accurate diagnosis of paediatric tuberculosis (TB) is key to manage the disease and to control and prevent its transmission. Collection of quality sputum samples without invasion methods from paediatrics (age <16 years) with presumptive pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) remains a challenge. Clinical management is especially challenging, and recommendations a...
