Abstract

India relies primarily on direct smear microscopy for tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis. However, the low sensitivity of smear microscopy emphasizes the need to improve its performance. We recently described the development of ‘TBDetect’ kit which showed improved performance over direct smear microscopy at National Reference Laboratories (NRLs) in India.
