Reducing diagnostic delay is key towards decreasing tuberculosis-associated deaths in
people living with HIV. In tuberculosis patients with retrospective urine testing, the point-of-
care Fujifilm SILVAMP TB LAM (FujiLAM) could have rapidly diagnosed tuberculosis in up to
89% who died. In FujiLAM negative patients, the probability of 12-week survival was 86-
97%.
