Spot Specimen Testing With GeneXpert® MTB/RIF Results In More Complete TB Diagnostic Results Than Morning Specimens

2021-08-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> The diagnosis of Tuberculosis (TB) using smear microscopy has been based on testing 2 specimens: one spot and one early morning sputum. Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended to replace, whenever possible, microscopy with GeneXpert® MTB/RIF performed on a single specimen. However, as the bacterial load is higher in early morning specimens than in spot specimens, one could e...
