Nucleic acid amplification tests reduce delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis
Abstract The clinical impact of nucleic acid amplification (NAA) tests on reducing delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis of pulmonary TB (PTB) has rarely been investigated. PTB patients were classified into a frontline NAA group, an add-on NAA group, and a no NAA group. The outcomes of interest were th...
