    The use of molecular line probe assays for the detection of resistance to isoniazid and rifampicin

    Tuberculosis (TB) remains a large-scale public health problem. Key global priorities for TB care and control include improving case-detection and detecting cases earlier, including cases of smear-negative disease. This document updates existing WHO policy on the use of molecular LPAs for detecting MTBC a...

    Automated real-time nucleic acid amplification technology for rapid and simultaneous detection of tuberculosis and rifampicin resistance: Xpert MTB/RIF assay for the diagnosis of pulmonary and extrapulmonary TB in adults and children. Policy update.

    The global priorities for tuberculosis (TB) care and control are to improve case-detection and to detect cases earlier, including cases of smear-negative disease which are often associated with coinfection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and young age, and to enhance the capacity to diagnose ...
