Methods: A retrospective descriptive study using data collected from January 1, 2019, to December 2021 at the Bamalete Lutheran Hospital laboratory (BLHL), Southeast district.  A presumptive case was defined as person with chronic cough and fever, weight-loss, and night-sweats. Presumptive cases from district health facilities were referred to BLHL for confirmatory testing using GeneXpert. From laboratory TB registers, we obtained data on age, sex, test outcome, dates of when specimen was received, analyzed, and the result sent to the physician. Furthermore, data was obtained on RR-TB, and HIV status. Frequencies and proportions were calculated for test yield, age, sex, HIV-coinfection, RR-TB, and turnaround time.
