Article Synopsis
- The study focused on TB screening in 799 HIV-positive pregnant women in India, finding that only 1.4% had active TB.
- The screening methods, including symptoms like cough and fever, showed a high negative predictive value of 99.3%, effectively ruling out TB.
- Additional tests like the tuberculin skin test and chest radiography did not significantly improve screening outcomes, supporting the effectiveness of symptom-based screening recommended by the WHO.
