Comparison of tests done, and tuberculosis cases detected by Xpert® MTB/RIF and Xpert® MTB/RIF-Ultra in Uganda.
<h4>Background</h4>Uganda introduced Xpert® MTB/RIF assay into its TB diagnostic algorithm in January 2012. In July 2018, this assay was replaced with Xpert® MTB/RIF Ultra assay. We set out to compare the tests done and tuberculosis cases detected by Xpert® MTB/RIF and Xpert® MTB/RIF Ult...
