Accuracy of C-reactive protein and a differentiated white cell count in diagnosing tuberculosis

Accuracy of C-reactive protein and a differentiated white cell count in diagnosing tuberculosis

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is treatable with a high cure rate. In South Africa, 70% of pulmonary TB is microbiologically confirmed. Autopsy studies of HIV-positive people found 45.7% undiagnosed TB cases. Objectives: The primary objective investigated whether CRP and a differentiated white cell...
