Added value of bleach sedimentation microscopy for diagnosis of tuberculosis: a cost-effectiveness study.
SETTING: Bleach sedimentation is a method used to increase the diagnostic yield of sputum microscopy for countries with a high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and limited resources. OBJECTIVES: To compare the relative cost-effectiveness of different microscopy approaches i...
