Performance of three LED-based fluorescence microscopy devices in detection of tuberculosis in HIV-positive suspects in Kampala, Uganda, per specimen analysis.
*<p>For sensitivity calculations, the denominator is the number of specimens for which the culture was positive for MTB. For specificity, the denominator shows the number of culture negative specimens.</p
Baseline characteristics stratified by gender of the patients enrolled in the IDI Research Cohort.

Performance of three LED-based fluorescence microscopy devices in detection of tuberculosis in HIV-positive suspects in Kampala, Uganda, per patient analysis.
*<p>For sensitivity calculations, the denominator is the number of patients for which the culture was positive for MTB. For specificity, the denominator shows the number of culture negative patients. None of the 3 LED FM methods was significantly different from each other. ZN, ZiehlNeelsen staining method; FM, fluorescence microscopy; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value.</p

Sensitivities compared to positive culture (LJ or MGIT) at different CD4 T cell strata.
<p>Empty cells under reader 5 show that there were 13 patients and all tested negative for all 3 tests (i.e. iLed, Lumin, and Fraen). Overall-4 represents the overall sensitivities of readers 5 & 6 excluding reader 4 who had the highest false positivity rate. Table includes only those patients with a CD4 count record.</p
Per reader analysis of performance of ZN and LED-based fluorescence microscopy methods, per specimen analysis.
<p>Readers 1–3 read ZN slides, readers 4–6 read LED FM slides (all LED systems for a single specimen were read by the same reader).</p
