RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There is no experience of point-of-care (POC) microbiological confirmation for TB in India in field settings. METHODS: Under the TB-Free Haryana project, a mobile van-mounted digital x-ray and portable GeneXpert system screened all presumptive TB patients with strong clinic-radiological suspicion for TB. RESULTS: Of 1673 x-rays, 215 (13%) had findings suggestive of TB, 109 had strong clinical suspicion and were eligible for POC GeneXpert, in whom a test was performed in 82 (75%) cases; 59 (72%) tested positive and were initiated on treatment within 24 h. CONCLUSIONS: A mobile van equipped with digital x-ray and POC GeneXpert is feasible and has a good success rate with potential for replication.
