NCT03794284

Brief Summary

The study will use the VereMTB tool for rapid diagnosis of TB or non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) pulmonary infections in hospitalised patients, with positive results in acid-fast bacilli smears, which are emerging in many regions of the world.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • diagnostic test correlation

    Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value, will be calculated to determine accuracy of VereMTB, in diagnosing MTB and NTM

    6 months from the date of first recruitment

Interventions

VereMTBDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

At least 2 mL of patient's expectorated or induced sputum would be collected for VereMTB assay and their clinical data would be retrieved for analysis use.

Study Population

Patients admitted to the Prince of Wales Hospital with suspected pulmonary TB with positive AFB smears will be identified by Infectious Diseases physicians and recruited accordingly.

You may qualify if:

  • Age 18 or older
  • One or more symptoms compatible with mycobacterial pulmonary infections, including fever, cough, sputum production,hemoptysis dyspnea, chest pain and weight loss
  • One or more sputum samples with positive AFB smear

You may not qualify if:

  • Receiving anti-mycobacterial treatment for more than one week
  • Refusal to consent
