Evaluation of GeneXpert MTB/RIF Ultra on stool samples versus gastric contents for diagnosing tuberculosis in children under five years in Niger

2025-08-27

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Pediatric tuberculosis is challenging to diagnose due to the limited presence of bacteria and difficulties in obtaining high-quality sputum samples. This study assessed the effectiveness of stool samples versus gastric contents analyzed with GeneXpert Ultra for diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis in children under five years old. Methods A diagnostic study was conducted in Nige...
