About This Project
Mortality rate is significantly higher among clinically diagnosed Tuberculosis (TB) patients than the ones bacteriologically confirmed. Epidemiological studies have shown the emergence of Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTMs) causing lung damage and disease. This study aims to determine the proportion of NTM infections among TB patients. We hypothesize that the proportion of clinically diagnosed TB patients did not actually have TB but other serious lung conditions masquerading as TB.
