Laboratory workflow.

<p>Abbreviations: LAMP = Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification assay; FM = fluorescence microscopy; MGIT = Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube; LJ = Lowenstein Jensen media; NALC-NaOH = n-acetyl-L-cysteine (NALC)—sodium hydroxide (NaOH). ^a Preference was given to investigations for ‘sputum 1’ in case of inadequate volume or salivary specimen of one or more samples, since culture results were the predefined reference standard.</p

Studies of accuracy of LAMP for diagnosis of tuberculosis.

<p>Abbreviations: TP = true positive; FP = false positive; FN = false negative; TN = true negative. Study setting: ¹ Primary care; ² Hospital; ³ University or national reference laboratory. ^a Refers to findings of this study in Malawi.^b Study sites were in Peru, Bangladesh, Tanzania.</p
