| Core Tip |
This study compared Xpert Ultra and TrueNat plus assays for diagnosing gastrointestinal tuberculosis against a composite reference standard. Of 38 patients, 26 had gastrointestinal tuberculosis. Xpert Ultra showed higher sensitivity and specificity than TrueNat plus in intestinal tissue samples. The improved sensitivity of these tests over standard tests comes at a cost of loss of specificity. |
