MiniDock MTB (Pluslife, China) is a near-point-of-care swab-based tuberculosis test. Most data are from people who can expectorate sputum. In 86 sputum-scarce symptomatic adults, retrospective testing detected 53% (95% CI 28–77) of tuberculosis; halving the amount missed if only sputum tests were available.
