Point-of-care diagnostic tests for tuberculosis disease. Science Translational Medicine 14 (639). ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1126/scitranslmed.abj4124 | Abstract: | Rapid diagnosis is one key pillar to end tuberculosis (TB). Point-of-care tests (POCTs) facilitate early detection, immediate treatment, and reduced transmission of TB disease. This Review evaluates current diagnostic assays endorsed by the World Health Organization and identifies the gaps between existing conventional tests and the ideal POCT. We discuss the commercial development of new rapid tests and research studies on nonsputum-based diagnostic biomarkers from both pathogen and host. Last, we highlight advances in integrated microfluidics technology that may aid the development of new POCTs. | Source Title: | Science Translational Medicine | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/218957 | ISSN: | 1946-6234 1946-6242 |
