Pooled Sputum for Xpert MTB/RIF Testing: A Cost Effectiveness Diagnostic Tool in Mwanza, Tanzania

2021-06-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Tuberculosis (TB) is a global public health problem, with the highest burden occurring in low-income countries, wherein the use of more sensitive diagnostics, such as Xpert MTB/RIF (GeneXpert), is still limited by costs. Testing of pooled samples from various individuals has been thought and thus investigated as a cost saving strategy to diagnose some diseases including TB. Then in cases wher...
