Key point:
This study showed that the PPV of Anyplex™ II MTB/MDR Detection in predicting Hr-TB infection was 93.5%. Anyplex™ II MTB/MDR Detection has a high accuracy rate in detecting drug-resistant tuberculosis. Since the PPV was greater than 90%, this indicated that the Anyplex™ II MTB/MDR Detection will be useful in countries with high TB burden because it will be able to detect Hr-TB.
