Comparison of C(18)-Carboxypropylbetaine and Standard N-Acetyl-l-Cysteine-NaOH Processing of Respiratory Specimens for Increasing Tuberculosis Smear Sensitivity in Brazil

Techniques to improve the sensitivity of smear microscopy would facilitate early tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis and disease control, especially in low-income countries where the positive predictive value is high. C(18)-carboxypropylbetaine (CB-18) is a zwitterionic detergent that helps to compensate fo...
