Non-tuberculous mycobacterium isolations from tuberculosis presumptive cases at the National Tuberculosis Reference Laboratory Kenya, 2018–2019

2024-07-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Mycobacterial pathogens are among the top causes of diseases in humans. In Kenya, incidences of Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) species have steadily been on the increase. Most NTMare resistant to first line treatment of tuberculosis and have a challenge in timely and accurate diagnosis. Misdiagnosis has led to prescribing anti-tuberculosis regimens to patients suffering from NTM. We aimed...
