Point-of-care diagnosis of tuberculosis: past, present and future.

TL;DR: The accuracy and potential impact of established and newer potential POC diagnostic tests for TB, including smear microscopy, the Xpert MTB/RIF assay (Cepheid) and the Determine TB lipoarabinomannan antigen test (Alere) are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnostic accuracy of a urine lipoarabinomannan strip-test for TB detection in HIV-infected hospitalised patients.

TL;DR: It is indicated that the LAM strip-test may be a potentially useful rapid rule-in test for TB in hospitalised patients with advanced immunosuppression and the grade 2, but not the manufacturer-recommended grade 1 cut-off point, offered superior rule- in utility and inter-reader reliability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Urine for the diagnosis of tuberculosis: current approaches, clinical applicability, and new developments.

TL;DR: Urine LAM currently offers little utility for the diagnosis of tuberculosis in unselected populations, however, urine LAM appears promising as a diagnostic tool in HIV-infected patients with CD4 cell counts less than 200 cells/μl in different clinical settings.
