CRP and tuberculosis: Although our results show that males and females with culture-positive TB are equally likely to screen-positive via symptom screening or CRP (with approximately 96% of males and females with TB identified through symptom screening and 91% through CRP-based screening), previous studies have demonstrated that the quality of routine TB evaluation is worse for women than men in many settings, with women less likely to be referred for confirmatory TB testing following a positive screening test result [33–35].
