European Respiratory Journal, 2020•Eur Respiratory SocDiagnosing tuberculosis (TB) in people living with HIV (PLHIV) remains challenging in part,
because of its diversity of clinical manifestations, including high rates of extra-pulmonary
and disseminated disease [1]. In particular, disseminated TB, involving multiple organ
systems, is associated with high mortality but often presents non-specifically, which may
hinder prompt diagnosis [2, 3]. Xpert MTB/RIF (Xpert; Cepheid, Sunnyvale, CA, USA), is
currently recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the first line assay for …
