Figure Lengend Snippet: PATIENT FLOW DIAGRAM Abbreviations: ART (antiretroviral therapy); TB (tuberculosis); POC CRP (point-of-care C-reactive protein); Hct (hematocrit).

Article Snippet: For all participants, we measured CRP levels from capillary blood using a standard POC assay (iCHROMA POC CRP Reader, BodiTech Med Inc., South Korea) and obtained two spot sputum specimens collected by patient expectoration or sputum induction for Xpert MTB/RIF testing and liquid mycobacterial culture as described [ 14 ].
