Copyright policy )Systematic Screening for Tuberculosis Using Molecular Testing on Stool Samples in Acutely Malnourished Children: A Pilot Implementation Study in a High-Burden Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis Country
Abstract Systematic screening of tuberculosis (TB) using molecular testing on stool samples detected TB in 5.2% of acutely malnourished children, including cases without evident clinical symptoms. This screening strategy could enhance TB diagnosis and facilitate prompt treatment initiation in this population. Further studies are required to confirm long-term outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
