Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Case Detection Group

Inclusion Criteria:

- Age 18 years or above;

- Provision of informed consent;

- Willingness to provide 4 sputum specimens at enrolment;

- Willingness to have a study follow-up visit approximately 42 to 70 days after
enrolment

- Clinical suspicion of pulmonary TB (including cough =2 weeks and at least 1 other
symptom typical of TB)

Exclusion Criteria:

- Receipt of any dose of TB treatment within 6 months prior to enrolment

- Participants for whom, at the time of enrolment, the follow-up visit is judged to be
poorly feasible (e.g. individuals planning to relocate)

Drug-Resistant TB Group

Inclusion Criteria:

- Age 18 years or above;

- Provision of informed consent;

- Willingness to provide 4 sputum specimens at enrolment;

- Non-converting pulmonary TB cases (category I and category II failures) or multi-drug
resistant (MDR) suspect* (based on World Health Organization definition), i.e. at
least one of the following: i) retreatment cases, ii) active TB cases that are
MDR-contacts and iii) patients at high risk for MDR-TB as determined by local program
(e.g. prisoners)

Exclusion Criteria:

• none



Age minimum: 18 Years
Age maximum: N/A
Gender: All
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Tuberculosis, Pulmonary
Intervention(s)
Device: Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra
Primary Outcome(s)
Difference in sensitivity and specificity (ability to correctly identify those with TB and those without TB) between Xpert Ultra and Xpert MTB/ for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) detection (non-inferiority endpoint) [Time Frame: Day 1]
Secondary Outcome(s)
Proportion of test attempts that do not yield a determinate result for Xpert Ultra and for Xpert MTB/RIF [Time Frame: Day 1]
Sensitivity of Xpert Ultra for MTB detection (ability to correctly identify those with TB i.e. true positives), stratified by smear status [Time Frame: Day 1]
Difference in sensitivity and specificity (ability to correctly identify those with TB resistant to Rifampin and those with TB susceptible to Rifampin) of Xpert Ultra and Xpert MTB/RIF for detection of RIF resistance [Time Frame: Day 1]
Sensitivity and specificity (ability to correctly identify those with TB resistant to Rifampin and those with TB susceptible to Rifampin) of Xpert Ultra for detection of Rifampin (RIF) resistance [Time Frame: Day 1]
