1.
Accuracy of C-Reactive Protein for Tuberculosis Detection in General-Population Screening and Ambulatory-Care Triage in Uganda
Cox S, Erisa K, Kitonsa P, Nalutaaya A, Nantale M, Kayondo F, et al.
Ann Am Thorac Soc . 2024 Jan; 21(6):875-883. PMID: 38259069
C-reactive protein (CRP) has demonstrated utility as a point-of-care triage test for tuberculosis (TB) in clinical settings, particularly among people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but its performance for general-population...
2.
Evidence for Tuberculosis in Individuals With Xpert Ultra "Trace" Sputum During Screening of High-Burden Communities
Sung J, Nantale M, Nalutaaya A, Biche P, Mukiibi J, Kamoga C, et al.
Clin Infect Dis . 2023 Oct; 78(3):723-729. PMID: 37787077
Background: "Trace" results on Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra ("Ultra"; Cepheid) -a molecular diagnostic test for tuberculosis (TB)-are often interpreted as an indication for TB treatment, but may also represent detection of...
3.
Characterization of geographic mobility among participants in facility- and community-based tuberculosis case finding in urban Uganda
Robsky K, Isooba D, Nakasolya O, Mukiibi J, Nalutaaya A, Kitonsa P, et al.
PLoS One . 2021 May; 16(5):e0251806. PMID: 33989343
Background: International and internal migration are recognized risk factors for tuberculosis (TB). Geographic mobility, including travel for work, education, or personal reasons, may also play a role in TB transmission,...
4.
Evaluation of underweight status may improve identification of the highest-risk patients during outpatient evaluation for pulmonary tuberculosis
Kitonsa P, Nalutaaya A, Mukiibi J, Nakasolya O, Isooba D, Kamoga C, et al.
PLoS One . 2020 Dec; 15(12):e0243542. PMID: 33306710
Background: When evaluating symptomatic patients for tuberculosis (TB) without access to same-day diagnostic test results, clinicians often make empiric decisions about starting treatment. The number of TB symptoms and/or underweight...

The Spectrum of Tuberculosis Disease in an Urban Ugandan Community and Its Health Facilities
Kendall E, Kitonsa P, Nalutaaya A, Erisa K, Mukiibi J, Nakasolya O, et al.
Clin Infect Dis . 2020 Dec; 72(12):e1035-e1043. PMID: 33283227
Background: New, sensitive diagnostic tests facilitate identification and investigation of milder forms of tuberculosis (TB) disease. We used community-based TB testing with the Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra assay ("Ultra") to characterize...
6.
Spatial distribution of people diagnosed with tuberculosis through routine and active case finding: a community-based study in Kampala, Uganda
Robsky K, Kitonsa P, Mukiibi J, Nakasolya O, Isooba D, Nalutaaya A, et al.
Infect Dis Poverty . 2020 Jun; 9(1):73. PMID: 32571435
Background: Routine tuberculosis (TB) notifications are geographically heterogeneous, but their utility in predicting the location of undiagnosed TB cases is unclear. We aimed to identify small-scale geographic areas with high...

Empiric treatment of pulmonary TB in the Xpert era: Correspondence of sputum culture, Xpert MTB/RIF, and clinical diagnoses
Kendall E, Kamoga C, Kitonsa P, Nalutaaya A, Salvatore P, Robsky K, et al.
PLoS One . 2019 Jul; 14(7):e0220251. PMID: 31339935
Background: Clinical tuberculosis diagnosis and empiric treatment have traditionally been common among patients with negative bacteriologic test results. Increasing availability of rapid molecular diagnostic tests, including Xpert MTB/RIF and the...
