Prevalence and Predictors of Tuberculosis in Adults and Adolescents With Sputum Trace Ultra Results in 2 High-Burden Clinical Settings

20261 citationOpen accessMakerere University

Abstract

Roughly half of PWTS were recommended TB therapy. This prevalence supports treating most PWTS when multimodal testing and repeated clinical evaluations are infeasible. However, given low observed mortality, some people with low-risk characteristics and negative results on other widely available diagnostic tests could safely defer treatment with clinical follow-up.
