Abstrakt: Using data from 388 people diagnosed with tuberculosis through a community-based screening program in Lima, Peru, we estimated that cough screening followed by sputum smear microscopy would have detected only 23% of cases found using an algorithm of radiographic screening followed by rapid nucleic acid amplification testing and clinical evaluation.
