Evaluation of alternative bacteriological measures of response to therapy during the initial 16-weeks of MDR-TB treatment
During the first 16 weeks of MDR-TB treatment I will: 1) To examine the correlations of FDA smear microscopy, PMA-Xpert Ct value &16s rRNA (MBLA) with MGIT-TTP as a reference standard. 2) To evaluate the ability of FDA smear microscopy, PMA-Xpert Ct value, MBLA in predicting 16-weeks MGIT culture conversion (outcome). 3) To evaluate the influence of patient clinical characteristics, baseline resistance profiles, adherence and HIV-status to the performance of the alternative measures of response
