Evaluation of GeneXpert® in Brazil Through a Historical and Epidemiological Approach

2022-07-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> The Rapid Molecular Test (RMT) Gene Xpert is widely used as a control strategies and surveillance for tuberculosis (TB). In the region of the Americas TB incidence is slowly increasing, owing to an upward trend in Brazil, which is among the high TB burden countries (HBCs) ranking the 19th position. In this context, we aimed to: (i) describe the implementation and history of RMT-TB (Xpert® MTB...
