Pourcentage de cas de TB pulmonaire à frottis positif
I don't understand 'frottis' here - I thought that it was a smear test. The text is also within the context of AIDS/HIV/Co-infection. could it be 'testing positive'?
thanks

positive sputum smear
this is probably a sputum smear, used for testing for TB. (similar testing technique to a cervical smear test, I imagine).
