Evaluation of the Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)-Truenat Assay: A Novel Chip-Based Test in the Diagnosis and Management of Tubercular Meningitis at a Tertiary Care Hospital
The study highlighted the role of Truenat in improving diagnostic accuracy and guiding cost-effective treatment strategies for TBM as compared to CBNAAT. As molecular tests alone cannot detect bacilli in most cases, a combination of clinical, microbiological, and radiological parameters is also obligatory for diagnosing TBM.
