Pdf Facilitating Point Of Care Detection Suspicion Of Early Tb Facilitating point of care detection suspicion of early tb disease to enable early treatment access, while awaiting more definitive microbiologic diagnosis march 2016. Abstract tuberculosis remains a significant global health challenge. tuberculosis affects millions of individuals worldwide. early detection of tuberculosis plays a relevant role in the management of treatment of tuberculosis. this systematic review will analyze the findings of several published studies on the topic of the early detection of tuberculosis. this systematic review highlights.
Pdf Point Of Care Diagnosis Of Tuberculosis Past Present And Future The new development of point of care diagnostics should help for early detection of tb [9]. these technologies have the potential to expand access to tb diagnostics in resource limited settings [10]. A key next step for those planning national efforts in tb care and control is prioritizing interventions for early detection of tb. prioritization will depend on the national tb epidemiology, existing treatment and control efforts, and available resources and capacity. 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. A greater index of suspicion is necessary, and perhaps access to an ultrasound of any sort may be another point of care adjunct facilitating early detection of tb, improving morbidity and mortality rates in this at risk population.

The 18th global report on tuberculosis (tb) provides a comprehensive and up to date assessment of the tb epidemic and of the progress made in tb prevention, care and control at global, regional and country level, using data reported by 197 countries and territories. The goals of the end tb strategy, which aims to achieve a 90% reduction in tuberculosis (tb) incidence and a 95% reduction in tb mortality by 2035, will not be achieved without new tools to fight tb. these include improved point of care (poc) diagnostic tests that are meant to be delivered at the most decentralised levels of care where the patients make the initial contact with the health.
