The value of Gene Xpert MTB/RIF of bronchial lavage fluid in the diagnosis of sputum AFB negative pulmonary tuberculosis

2025-04-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Objective</h4> To describe the characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis patients with acid-fast bacilli (AFB) negative sputum and determine the value of Gene Xpert MTB/RIF of bronchial lavage fluid in diagnosis of sputum AFB-negative pulmonary tuberculosis. <h4>Method</h4> This cross-sectional study was conducted on 120 pulmonary tuberculosis-suspected patients with AFB-negative sputum admit...
