Evaluation of nested polymerase chain reaction for rapid diagnosis of clinically suspected tuberculous pleurisy.
BACKGROUND Early diagnosis of tuberculosis is important in its control. The conventional techniques like smear microscopy and culture suffer from low sensitivity for diagnosis of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis like Pleural Tuberculosis (PTB) due to paucibacillary nature of the fluid. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is presently seen as a promising alternative to conventional techniques. In this s...
متن کاملEvaluation of Polymerase Chain Reaction for Diagnosis of “Tuberculous Pleurisy”
BACKGROUND Differential diagnosis between tuberculous pleurisy (TBP) and non- tuberculosis pleural effusion represents a critically important clinical problem. In recent years, several noninvasive methods have been found for diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy. This study aimed to evaluate the value of detection of the genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ...
متن کاملDiagnostic Value of Polymerase Chain Reaction for the Rapid Diagnosis of Clinically Suspected Tuberculous Meningitis
To study the efficiency of Polymerase Chain Reaction for the diagnosis of clinically suspected tuberculous meningitis, a rapid molecular technique was established. The conventional bacteriological methods rarely detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis in CSF and are of limited use in diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis (TBM). This double blind study was, therefore, directed to the molecular analysis ...
متن کاملEVALUATION OF DIRECT MICROSCOPY, CULTURE, AND POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF TUBERCULOUS MENINGITIS
In view of the importance of early diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis (TBM), the efficiency of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), one of the most reliable and sensitive DNA-based assays, was compared with conventional methods (acid-fast microscopy and culture) for the detection of M. tuberculosis in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens from patients suspected of TBM. Of the 29 CSF specim...
متن کاملPolymerase Chain Reaction for the Diagnosis of Tuberculosis
Dear Editor-in-Chief We read with interest the study by Khazaei et al. (1) in which the authors have nicely concluded that PCR is more sensitive test than Ziehl-Neelsen staining and histo-pathological examination for the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). They have rightly pointed to use PCR, selectively, in acidfast bacilli negative paucibacillary forms of TB. However, we intend to highlight few...
