Abstract
Background: This study aimed to effectively evaluate the diagnostic performance of the EasyNAT Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) assay for tuberculosis (TB) detection from sputum.
Methods: The retrospectively analyzed data was collected from September 1, 2021, to November 1, 2023, in our hospital.
Results: Forty EasyNAT-positive sputum specimens were simultaneously detected using the GeneXpert MTB/ rifampicin (RIF) assay. The concordance rate between the EasyNAT and GeneXpert MTB/RIF assays was 100%.
Conclusions: Because of the complexity of detecting RIF resistance data information, the rapid EasyNAT system used in conjunction with GeneXpert might be a better choice for the detection of TB in hospitals.
