Performance and Impact of GeneXpert MTB/RIF® and Loopamp MTBC Detection Kit® Assays on Tuberculosis Case Detection in Madagascar

2019-06-17

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background: Tuberculosis rapid molecular assays, including GeneXpert MTB/RIF® and Loopamp MTBC Detection Kit®, are highly sensitive and specific. Such performance does not automatically translate in improved disease control and highly depends on their use, local epidemiology and the diagnostic algorithms they’re implemented within. We evaluate the performance of both assays and assess t...
