متن کاملDiagnosis of smear-negative tuberculosis is greatly improved by Xpert MTB/RIF
BACKGROUND Diagnosis of pulmonary (PTB) and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) in smear-negative patients can be difficult. We assessed retrospectively the performance of Xpert MTB/RIF system (Xpert, Cepheid) in diagnosing smear-negative tuberculosis (TB), which represents the most common form of TB in a low incidence setting. METHODS Performance of Xpert was compared to acid-fast microscopi...
