Diagnostic accuracy of smear microscopy, mycobacterial culture, and GeneXpert MTB/RIF assay for diagnosis of subclinical tuberculosis: a retrospective multicenter study

Diagnostic accuracy of smear microscopy, mycobacterial culture, and GeneXpert MTB/RIF assay for diagnosis of subclinical tuberculosis: a retrospective multicenter study

ABSTRACT Subclinical tuberculosis (TB) challenges public health interventions. This retrospective multicenter study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of smear microscopy, mycobacterial culture, and GeneXpert MTB/RIF assay (Xpert) for subclinical TB and identify its proportion and risk factor...
