Operating characteristic curve for a sample size of 82 and decision rule of 4.

<p>The operating characteristic curve demonstrates that a sample size of 82 new TB cases and a decision cut-off of 4 achieves the desired misclassification properties (<10% misclassifications at a true prevalence of resistance of 8% and at a true prevalence of resistance of 2%).</p
