Association of Human Cytomegalovirus exposure with tuberculosis disease in South African adults with presumptive tuberculosis
Recent studies suggested that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) exposure may increase tuberculosis (TB) disease risk. We assessed the association between active HCMV infection and recent HCMV exposure with tuberculosis (TB) disease among TB-presumptive South African adults. This was a cross-sectional case-control study that utilized stored plasma and serum samples collected from adults (≥18 years) with presumptive TB self-presenting to primary care cl…
Diagnostic accuracy study of the multiplex Truenat MTB Ultima/Covid-19 assay for simultaneous detection of Tuberculosis and Sars-CoV2 (Covid-19)
The COVID-19 pandemic led to significantly disrupted tuberculosis case detection and management. Additionally, overlapping symptoms, radiological findings and risk factors make differentiating tuberculosis and COVID-19 disease difficult. We conducted a prospective multicentre diagnostic accuracy study to determine sensitivity, specificity and operational characteristics of the Truenat MTB Ultima/COVID-19 assay, using a combined sputum plus nasoph…
Performance evaluation of the Molbio diagnostics Truenat MTB Ultima/Covid-19 multiplex assay for TB and Covid-19 case detection among people with symptoms suggestive of tuberculosis—a study protocol f…
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem globally, as reflected in persistently high morbidity and mortality rates. Current control efforts have been further complicated by the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. Rapid molecular diagnostics remain crucial to identifying the millions of people with undiagnosed TB. Objectives: The study aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of Truenat MTB Ultima/COVID-19 for the …
