In microbiologically confirmed TB patients, quantitative LAM detection results increased progressively with bacillary burden and immunosuppression. Patients with disseminated TB and/or advanced HIV are target populations for whom urine LAM detection may be particularly useful.en© 2010 American Society for MicrobiologyLipoarabinomannanTuberculosisArticle
