Pleural tuberculosis (pTB) is a diagnostic challenge because of its non-specific clinical features, lack accurate tools and paucibacillary nature the disease.
In view of WHO’s 'End-TB' strategy, we developed a non-invasive, urine-based ELISA, targeting two Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens namely MPT51 & MPT64 for extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) diagnosis. Suspected EPTB patients (n=137) [Pleural TB, Abdominal and Tuberculous meningitis] were categorized in ‘Definite’ (n=10) [Xpert-MTB/RIF and/or culture-positive], ‘Probable’ (n=77) ‘Non-EPTB’ (n=50) groups using defined composite reference standards. ROC-curves generated ELISA results both...
