Operational lessons drawn from pilot implementation of Xpert MTB/Rif in Brazil

Problem The World Health Organization has endorsed the Xpert MTB/RIF (Xpert), an automated polymerase-chain-reaction-based assay, for the rapid diagnosis of tuberculosis. However, large-scale use of a new technology calls for preparation and adaptation. Approach A pilot implementation study was cond...
