Abstract
Urine LAM antigen detection method has a high specificity and can be combined with traditional methods to effectively improve the detection rate. Urinary LAM antigen detection method still has limitations, such as the influence of bacterial load and the inability to distinguish nontuberculosis mycobacteria samples, which needs further experimental verification.
