摘要
Testing for mycobacterial lipoarabinomannan (LAM) in urine is a practical but insensitive alternative to sputum testing to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) in people with HIV (PWH). We evaluated urine LAM testing conducted in parallel with tests for Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA in oral swabs. In a cohort of 131 South Africans (92% with HIV), combined urine LAM and oral swab testing was significantly more sensitive than either sample tested alone (57% vs. 35% and 39%, respectively), and 97% specific, compared to reference sputum testing (TB culture and Xpert Ultra). Complementary non-sputum sample testing increased sensitivity of TB diagnosis, without sacrificing specificity.
