Results from a roving, active case finding initiative to improve tuberculosis detection among older people in rural cambodia using the Xpert MTB/RIF assay and chest X-ray

Abstract

A series of roving, one-off ACF days at government health facilities were able to increase TB diagnosis, treatment initiation and treatment outcomes in a key population with high TB prevalence. Targeted ACF interventions such as this could be used to reduce a backlog of untreated, prevalent TB.
