C-Reactive Protein Testing for Active Tuberculosis among Inpatients without HIV in Uganda: a Diagnostic Accuracy Study

Amanda J. Meyer et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) as a triage test for tuberculosis (TB) among HIV-seronegative inpatients in a national referral hospital in Kampala, Uganda. Results showed that CRP testing fell below the target thresholds for sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing TB among HIV-seronegative inpatients. Additional studies are needed to assess the utility of CRP for TB screening in clinics and community settings, as its performance varied across different thresholds and illness severity levels.
