Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 22.0. Diagnostic performance was assessed using the chi-square test. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), Kappa coefficient, and the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were calculated for tNGS. McNemar\u2019s chi-square test was used to compare the diagnostic efficacy of tNGS with other methods.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, AUC, and Kappa of tNGS were 76.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%, 87.20%, 0.880, and 0.797 respectively, all superior to traditional methods. When combined with Xpert, the sensitivity increased to 84.00%, and the AUC improved to 0.920, indicating strong diagnostic complementarity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>tNGS exhibits high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing TB in patients with HIV.
