Abstract

The diagnosis of Tuberculosis (TB) has been a challenge till the advent of rapid molecular diagnostic tests. The traditional diagnostic tests have its own limitations with regard to its performance or the turnaround time. Truenat MTB Plus assay, a battery-operated molecular assay developed in India has been introduced for its use in pulmonary TB (PTB). However, the diagnostic accuracy of the assay is not well studied in comparison with Mycobacterial culture, especially for extrapulmonary TB (EPTB).
