Diagnostic Accuracy of Lung and Abdominal Ultrasound for Tuberculosis in a German Multicenter Cohort of Patients With Presumed Tuberculosis Disease
Our study establishes the first data on LUS performance against a comprehensive reference standard. Overall, our data suggest that ultrasound does not meet the requirements for triage but previously described and novel ultrasound targets in combination could aid in the clinical decision making.Registry: DRKS00026636.
