Quantitative analysis of a urine-based assay for detection of lipoarabinomannan in patients with tuberculosis

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, Volume 48, No. 8, Year 2010

Urinary lipoarabinomannan (LAM) detection is a promising approach for rapid diagnosis of active tuberculosis (TB). In microbiologically confirmed TB patients, quantitative LAM detection results increased progressively with bacillary burden and immunosuppression. Patients with disseminated TB and/or advanced HIV are target populations for whom urine LAM detection may be particularly useful. Copyright © 2010, American Society for Microbiology.
