Tuberculosis Prevalence and Predictors Among Health Care-Seeking People Screened for Cough of Any Duration in Ethiopia: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study

Hussen Mohammed et al.

Summary: The study found a high prevalence of confirmed PTB among healthcare-seeking people with cough in Ethiopia, including those with a low duration of cough who may serve as a source of infection. Screening all patients at outpatient departments who report any cough, regardless of duration, is crucial to increase TB case detection and reduce transmission and mortality.

Suman Chandra Gurung et al.

Summary: By comparing the yield of tuberculosis active case finding interventions and diagnostic methods, it was found that screening at hospital OPD yielded the highest number of cases, and the positivity rate using GeneXpert was significantly higher than smear microscopy, indicating a more effective case-finding approach.
