Accelerating extrapulmonary tuberculosis diagnosis with a rapid molecular assay

ABSTRACT Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is characterized by a very low bacterial load and could remain undiagnosed for a long time in a number of cases due to atypical presentation. Conventional methods and their time to results are not always helpful in rapidly making an EPTB diagnosis and init...
