Evaluation of feasibility and utility of urinary lipoarabinomannan assay against conventional sputum microscopy in the detection of tuberculosis among people with and without HIV infection

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global public health challenge. Lipoarabinomannan (LAM) assessment in urine is a potential molecular diagnostic tool for TB. Methods: We evaluated the feasibility and utility of urinary LAM in detecting TB along with sputum smear microscopy (SSM) and the True...
