Rapid Molecular Testing For The Detection of Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis

Biomarker-Based non-sputum Tests For Diagnosis of Tuberculosis

  • Drain and colleagues (2019) stated that the World Health Organization (WHO)’s "End TB" strategy calls for development and implementation of novel TB diagnostics. Sputum-based diagnostics are challenging to implement and often less sensitive in high-priority populations. Non-sputum, biomarker-based tests may facilitate TB testing at lower levels of the healthcare system, acceler…

Breath Tests (e.g., Electronic-Nose) For Diagnosis of Tuberculosis

  • Saktiawati and colleagues (2019) stated that breath tests may diagnose TB through detecting specific volatile organic compounds produced by Mtb or the infected host. These researchers examined the diagnostic accuracy of breath test with electronic-nose and other devices against culture or other tests for TB. They screened multiple databases until January 6, 2019. These inv…

MTB/RIF Ultra (Xpert Ultra) For Diagnosis of Pleural TB

  • Wang and colleagues (2020) noted that the Xpert MTB/RIF (Xpert) assay has greatly improved the diagnosis of TB and identification of RIF. However, sensitivity of Xpert remains poor for pleural fluid detection. In a multi-center, cohort study, these researchers examined the performance of the novel next-generation Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra (Xpert Ultra) i...
