Flow diagram of all children evaluated for TB. * Subjects were referred due to suspicion of pulmonary TB; referral was at the discretion of a primary health care nurse or doctor. † Children for whom MOTT were cultured as the sole organism (in one or more cultures) were classified as MOTT. Children who grew M. tuberculosis from one culture and MOTT from another were classified as TB. ‡ Subjects were included in the study cohort if at least one culture result was available and uncontaminated. An unavailable result meant that there was no laboratory report even when a sample was taken from the patient and sent to the laboratory. This may have been due to the fact that cultures were not performed or, if performed, the results were not recorded or reported to the clinicians. § Microbiological confirmation defined as positive for TB using culture. MOTT = mycobacteria other than TB; TB = tuberculosis.
