pubmed:abstractText |
Laos has a high prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) and a low prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune-deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture is not yet available. Case finding is based on the microscopic detection of acid-fast bacilli (AFB) in sputum. Liquefaction and concentration using sodium hypochlorite (bleach) could improve its yield.
