Determination of the predictive factors for diagnostic positivity of nucleic acid amplification tests for diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major threat to human health, and TB diagnostic methods remain unsatisfactory. Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) show higher sensitivity compared with culture for the diagnosis of pulmonary TB (PTB). However, NAATs are expensive and cannot be easily imp...
