Hello. Can you specify the sample in which gene xpert has turned out to be positive. Requires clinical correlation. Any previous history of Tuberculosis? This test has good sensitivity but we need to confirm. Kindly consult your treating physician. Genexpert showing positive but there is no evidence of drug resistance. Need to start therapy.
