ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Background:
We aimed to evaluate the costs of GenoType® MTBDRplus and MTBDRsl incurred during the diagnosis of first- and second-line drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) in São Paulo, Brazil.Methods:
Mean and activity-based costs of GenoType® were calculated in a referral laboratory for TB in Brazil.Results:
The mean cost value and activity-based cost of GenoType® MTBDRplus were USD 19.78 and USD 35.80 and those of MTBDRsl were USD 54.25 and USD 41.85, respectively.Conclusions:
The cost of GenoType® MTBDRplus was reduced owing to the high number of examinations performed and work optimization.
