Performance of Xpert® MTB/RIF among tuberculosis outpatients in Lilongwe, Malawi

Background: Xpert® MTB/RIF is a molecular test for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and rifampicin resistance. It is considered to be a great advance over smear microscopy and culture. However, there is very little information regarding the performance characteristics of Xpert MTB/RIF in...
