الوصف:	Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the utility of Xpert assay, Ziehl–Neelsen (ZN) staining, and Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT™) culture for diagnosis of pediatric pulmonary tuberculosis from gastric aspirate (GA) samples and to compare Xpert assay and ZN staining with MGIT rapid liquid culture. Materials and Methods: GA samples from 210 nonexpectorating children, aged between 6 months to 12 years, presenting to the pediatric out-patient department (OPD) with clinical suspicion of tuberculosis (TB) were collected. The samples were tested by GeneXpert, ZN staining, and MGIT liquid culture. Results: GeneXpert is a more sensitive method for rapid and early diagnosis of pediatric TB when compared with microscopy.
