    The use of molecular line probe assays for the detection of resistance to second-line anti-tuberculosis drugs: policy guidance

    This document provides a summary of the evidence and recommendations for the use of SL-LPA for the detection of mutations associated with resistance to fluoroquinolones and SLID in patients with RR-TB and/or MDR-TB. The objectives of this policy guidance are to assess and compare the diagnostic accuracy ...

    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...
