Xpert MTB/XDR implementation in South Africa: cost outcomes of centralised vs. decentralised approaches
INTRODUCTION: In South Africa, Xpert® MTB/RIF Ultra (Ultra) is the recommended diagnostic assay for TB with line-probe assays for first- (LPAfl) and second-line drugs (LPAsl) providing additional drug susceptibility testing (DST) for samples that were rifampicin-resistant (RR-TB). To guide implement...
