Evaluation of Xpert MTB/RIF assay performance in the diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis

Evaluation of Xpert MTB/RIF assay performance in the diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis

Background/Aims: The use of genetic probes for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) has been well described. However, the role of these assays in the diagnosis of intestinal tuberculosis is unclear. We therefore assessed the diagnostic utility of the Xpert Mycobacterium tuberculosis/rifampic...
