Ogwang S et al. – It was noted, however, that the LiPA test allows sterilization of samples prior to testing thereby reducing the risk of accidental laboratory transmission.

The test preferred by the laboratory personnel, direct BACTEC 460, requires further study to determine its accuracy in real–time treatment decisions in Uganda.
