Description
Xiaoxiao Zhao and colleagues report a two thousand twenty-four diagnostic study of a rapid RNA test for tuberculosis that standard smears miss. Smear-negative lung tuberculosis is hard to confirm quickly. A test that amplifies the germ's RNA live could help.
Patients with suspected smear-negative disease gave sputum or lung wash samples. Both the RNA test and a leading cartridge test were run on each. The RNA test caught about half of true cases while never flagging healthy samples. Agreement between the two tests was substantial. The authors weigh where the faster, cheaper RNA method fits in practice.
