| Summary: | Background : Tuberculosis ( TB ) remains a major global health
problem. In the last few years, prevention, diagnosis, and
treatment of TB has become more complicated because of HIV-related
TB and MDR - TB. Microscopic acid fast bacilli examination of
smear is a diagnostic examination that is widely used, but it is
difficult to detect bacteria with less than 10,000 CFU / ml and
could not detect bacterial resistance. Examination of the
geneXpert is a new diagnostic tool that can diagnose TB and
rifampicin resistance within 2 hours.
Objective : The objective of this study is to determine and
compare the results of microscopic examination of acid fast
bacilli bacteria with geneXpert among patients with suspected MDR
- TB.
Methods : This study is an observational study . Secondary data
and the results of microscopic examination of the GeneXpert
patients with suspected MDR - TB will be compared and analyzed .
Results : The microscopic examination of acid fast bacilli
bacteria with geneXpert as comparison has sensitivity, specificity,
positive likelihood ratio (LR +), negative likelihood ratio (LR-)
respectively 57.50%
