The long-term risk of tuberculosis among individuals with Xpert Ultra “trace” screening results: a longitudinal follow-up study

2025-03-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Systematic screening for tuberculosis using Xpert Ultra generates “trace” results of uncertain significance. Additional microbiological testing in this context is often negative, but untreated individuals might still progress to culture-positive disease. We aimed to estimate the two-year risk of tuberculosis among screening participants with trace-positive sputum. <h4>Methods...
