For children who are HIV-negative or have an unknown HIV status, who have signs or symptoms or screen positive for pulmonary TB, concurrent testing using low complexity automated nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) on respiratory and stool samples should be used as the initial diagnostic strategy for diagnosing TB, rather than low-complexity automated NAATs on respiratory or stool samples alone.
