This 75-minute presentation (followed by a 15-minute Q & A session) discussed the principles of Xpert MTB/RIF testing, highlighting it as an important tool for the rapid diagnosis of TB and how to best utilize the tool. A laboratorian and a clinician reviewed the rules set by the manufacturer, presented cases that addressed pitfalls in interpretation of test results, and offered expert opinion on how to proceed. The training was created for physicians who diagnose and treat patients with TB. The webinar may also be of interest to microbiologists. The webinar content is more advanced, and does not spend time on the basics.
CME and CE credits are not being offered for this recording and there is no participant evaluation.
