Gender disparity amongst TB suspects and new TB patients according to data record- ed at the South African Institute of Medical Research laboratory for the Western Cape Region of South Africa. [Healthcare in Low-resource Settings 2015; 3:5011] TB burden has been widely documented and if unchecked, it can result into uninterrupted transmission of this deadly infectious disease.2,5,6 Despite a number of new techno- logical advancement on the diagnosis of TB, the local evaluations of their performance remain a challenge in most developing coun- tries.10,11,13,21 The incremental detection of 9.6% among PTB patients at SRRH by GeneXpert MTB/RIF® over LED FM in the present study along with the 23% from a review involving 8880 participants in 21 studies,12 8.0% among children in Uganda,17 and 9.7% in a recent multicenter, randomized controlled trial involv- ing South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Tanzania,16 emphasizes the utility of GeneXpert MTB/RIF® over microscopy in the diagnosis of TB patients.	cache/hls-5011.pdf	txt/hls-5011.txt
