Feasibility and Sensitivity of Saliva GeneXpert MTB/RIF Ultra for Tuberculosis Diagnosis in Adults in Uganda

2022-03-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The objective of this prospective, observational study carried out at China-Uganda Friendship Hospital-Naguru in Kampala, Uganda, was to determine the performance of GeneXpert MTB/RIF Ultra (Xpert) testing on saliva for active tuberculosis (TB) disease among consecutive adults undergoing diagnostic evaluation. We calculated sensitivity to determine the diagnostic performance in comparison to that...
