Why is sensitivity important for a diagnostic test for TB?

0

High sensitivity helps to maximize the reliability of a test for TB, ensuring that the majority of infected people are identified. This is especially important with immunocompromised patients. A test with poor sensitivity could produce high numbers of false-negative results in people who truly have disease.
