Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of the International AIDS Society"
DOI: 10.1002/jia2.25392
Abstract: Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is difficult to confirm bacteriologically and requires specific diagnostic capacities. Diagnosis can be especially challenging in under‐resourced settings. We studied diagnostic modalities and clinical outcomes of EPTB compared to pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB)… read more here.
