An assessment of nucleic acid amplification testing for active mycobacterial infection

Figure 4 Current clinical management and proposed algorithm with use of NAAT for active TB where AFB microscopy is not able to be obtained

Figure 5 Current clinical management algorithm and proposed algorithm with use of NAAT for patients who are suspected of having an NTM infection

AFB = acid-fast bacilli; DST = drug susceptibility testing; MTB = Mycobacterium tuberculosis; NAAT = nucleic acid amplification testing
