TL;DR: The guidelines strongly recommend systematic testing and treatment of LTBI in people living with HIV, adult and child contacts of pulmonary TB cases, patients initiating anti-tumour necrosis factor treatment, patients receiving dialysis, patients preparing for organ or haematological transplantation and patients with silicosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitigation of Discordant Rifampicin-Susceptibility Results Obtained by Xpert Mycobacterium tuberculosis/Rifampicin and Mycobacterium Growth Indicator Tube
Elmira Gurbanova,Rafail Mehdiyev,Kai Blondal,Rasim Tahirli,Fuad Mirzayev,Doris Hillemann,Asker Ismayilov,Alan Altraja +7 more
TL;DR: The Xpert MTB/RIF and MGIT testing may be used in sequential sputum samples without increase in the RIF-susceptibility discordance rate, and its clinical relevance may be low.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Interpretation of indeterminate RIF-susceptibility results obtained by rapid molecular diagnostics test
Elmira Gurbanova,Rafail Mehdiyev,Kai Blondal,Rasim Tahirli,Fuad Mirzayev,Doris Hillemann,Asker Ismayilov,Alan Altraja,Alan Altraja +8 more
TL;DR: The indeterminate RIF-susceptibility detected on sputum samples directly by XpertMTB/RIF is significant and this drawback may be resolved with the use of Xpert MTB/ RIF on cultures.
