Nested PCR in lung tissue for diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is difficult in cases with an unusual presentation and often requires a lung biopsy. The goal of this study was to determine the clinical usefulness of nested PCR on lung tissue for the diagnosis of pulmonary TB. Clinical and laboratory data were reviewed from patients who underwent diagnostic lung biopsies, followed by nested TB PCR on formalin-fixed pa...
متن کاملComparison of Betanodavirus diagnosis quality in Grouper and Sea bass by Rapid Diagnosis Kit, histopathology and Nested-PCR methods
Betanodavirus is the leading cause of viral mortality in fish worldwide and a major barrier to the spread of fisheries and aquaculture. Due to the increase in aquaculture in the Persian Gulf and the occurrence of some disease symptoms in farmed and wild fish in the region, screening of Betanodavirus-sensitive fish became important. Therefore, to prevent economic losses and reduce aquatic reserv...

متن کاملProtein antigen b (Pab) based PCR test in diagnosis of pulmonary and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) is largely based on microscopy and culture examination which are either less sensitive, or time consuming. In the present study a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test based on DNA sequence coding for a 38-kilodalton protein antigen b (Pab) ,specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis was compared with Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) stained AFB (acid fast...
