Urine LAM Test for TB Diagnosis in HIV

Sithembiso Hadebe

Mortality from tuberculosis remains high among people living with HIV, accounting for nearly half a million cases and 32% of AIDS-related deaths. Underdiagnosis of TB is a principal barrier to combatting the disease. Consequently, the emergence of easier to use, point-of-care tests using urine to identify TB have been a welcome addition to the TB diagnostics environment. 2 CPDs are allocated
