Recent advances in molecular methods for early diagnosis of tuberculosis and drug-resistant tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis (TB) remains the main infectious cause of deaths in the world. Due to the slow metabolism of the causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the isolation, identification and drug susceptibility testing requires several weeks. New techniques have improved specificity, turnaround time and cost effectiveness. Although these methods yield results within hours from sample collection, ...
متن کاملAdvances in the diagnosis of tuberculosis infection.
One-third of the world-wide population currently presents latent tuberculosis infection (LTI). In Spain, TB is situated as the third disease of mandatory notification. The standard technique for the diagnosis of ITL is the tuberculin test (PPD), although its most important drawback is its specificity since the proteins used are not specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In recent years, resea...
متن کاملRecent Advances in the Diagnosis of Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is an important health problem requiring early diagnosis for timely initiation of therapy and control of disease transmission. Though, conventional techniques, such as detection of acid fast bacilli by Ziehl-Neelsen staining, are very economical, yet have a low sensitivity. Isolation of mycobacteria by culture on Lowenstein Jensen media, considered to be the gold standard, is not o...

متن کاملMolecular Diagnosis of Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading causes of adult death in the Asia-Pacific Region, including Indonesia. As an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), TB remains a major public health issue especially in developing nations due to the lack of adequate diagnostic testing facilities. Diagnosis of TB has entered an era of molecular detection that provides faster and mor...
