Evaluation of Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra for the Diagnosis of Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis : A Retrospective Analysis in Saudi Arabia
© 2023. The Author(s)..
The incidence of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) in low- and middle-income countries, as well as, high-income countries has increased over the last two decades. The acid-fast bacillus (AFB) smear test is easy to perform and cost-effective with a quick turnaround time but the test has low sensitivity. Culture remains the gold standard for detecting TB; however, it has low sensitivity and slow bacterial growth patterns, as it may take up to 6 to 8 weeks to grow. Therefore, a rapid detection tool is crucial for the early initiation of treatment and ensuring an improved therapeutic outcome. Here, the Xpert Ultra system was developed as a nucleic acid amplification technique to accelerate the detection of MTB in paucibacillary clinical samples and endorsed by the World Health Organization. From March 2020 to August 2021, Xpert Ultra was evaluated for its sensitivity and specificity against EPTB and compared with those of the routinely used Xpert, culture, and AFB tests in 845 clinical samples in Saudi Arabia. The results indicate the overall sensitivity and specificity of Xpert Ultra to be 91% and 95%, respectively, compared with the Xpert (82% and 99%, respectively) and AFB smear (18% and 100%, respectively) tests. The results also indicated that despite the low microbial loads that were categorized as trace, very low, or low on Xpert Ultra, yet, complete detection was achieved with some sample types (i.e., 100% detection). Consequently, Xpert Ultra has great potential to replace conventional diagnostic approaches as a standard detection method for EPTB.
