Abstract
The Amplified Mycobacterium tuberculosis Direct (AMTD) test detects M. tuberculosis rRNA. By using culture of M. tuberculosis as a gold standard, a number of different diagnostic indices were examined in an attempt to determine the diagnostic performance of the AMTD test and demonstrate how it might usefully be interpreted during the early management of disease.Entities:
