EBUS-TBNA needle rinse fluid: a superior specimen for the molecular diagnosis of intrathoracic lymph node tuberculosis
EBUS-TBNA rinse fluid demonstrates higher sensitivity than biopsy tissue for intrathoracic lymph node TB via TB-DNA/Xpert MTB/RIF. Routine rinse fluid testing improves diagnostic yield.
