Yields of total tuberculosis (TB) diagnoses from all clinical samples collected at any time during hospital admission. Yields of TB diagnoses made by testing urine samples (using Xpert) collected on admission compared with the yield from all sputum samples (using either Xpert and/or culture) and all other non-respiratory samples (using culture). Venn diagrams show yields as proportions of (a) all TB diagnoses (n = 139), (b) TB diagnoses in patients with CD4 cell counts >100 cells/μL (n = 64) and (c) TB diagnoses in patients with CD4 cell counts ≤100 cells/μL (n = 74). Note: the CD4 cell count result was missing for one patient with TB
