Evaluation of stool GeneXpert MTB/RIF for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis among presumptive patients in Tanzania
Background: Diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis remains grim, especially in resource-limited settings. Low quality of sputum, particularly among seriously ill, HIV/AIDS, and pediatric patients might result in missing the diagnosis. This study evaluated the performance of GeneXpert MTB/RIF for the de...
