TB-LAM in the Diagnosis of TB

Clinical Utility of TB-LAM in the Diagnosis of Active TB in Hospitalized HIV-infected Patients

Tuberculosis (TB) is still the leading cause of death in HIV-infected patients. Early diagnosis of TB substantially improves the survival of HIV-infected patients. Urine based detection of lipoarabinomannan (LAM) provides promising methods for quick diagnosis of TB in HIV-infected patients. However, the sensitivity and specificity of TB-LAM is still not well established, especially in area where non-tuberculosis mycobacterium is also prevalence. Here we aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of TB-LAM in diagnosis of active TB in hospitalized HIV-infected patients.
