Diagnostic accuracy of urine based lipoarabinomannan point of care tuberculosis diagnostic test in HIV negative children : a systematic review and meta-analysis

Tuberculosis is predicted to be a major undocumented cause of mortality in children. This systematic review with meta-analysis assessed the diagnostic accuracy of Lipoarabinomannan antigen testing (FujiLAM) in urine in HIV-negative children with TB-like signs and symptoms. PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane database and Google Scholar search engine were searched to identify relevant studies from earliest records to June 2022 without any language restriction. Three studies were finalized, patients were recruited from Africa and Haiti. Among microbiologically confirmed pediatric TB patients, pooled sensitivity and specificity of FujiLAM (with 95% CI) was 52% (35%-69%) and 90% (85%-93%) respectively. In both clinical (unconfirmed) and microbiological confirmed TB cases, sensitivity reduced to 24% (16%-34%) while specificity was 91%(80%-97%). We concluded that due to ease in obtaining urine sample, FujiLAM can be used as point-of-care TB test in HIV negative children, however more data from different population is needed.
