Sensitivity and Specificity of Nucleic Acid Sequence-Based Amplification Method for Diagnosis of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
Abstract Background and Objective: Culture, microscopic method is a gold standard method for identification of Lishmania parasite. The use of Molecular methods such as RT- PCR compared to microscopic methods has a higher sensitivity and specificity however, it is not widely used due to its expensive equipment and the time requested. The use of nucleic acid sequence based amplification (NASBA) ...
متن کاملCritical use of nucleic acid amplification techniques to test for Mycobacterium tuberculosis in respiratory tract samples.
The usefulness of employing Belgian selection criteria before performing nucleic acid amplification techniques (NAT) was evaluated. The results of this study show that for smear-negative patients with an abnormal chest radiology result in the absence of a respiratory tract infection by bacterial pathogens, testing with NAT is of major benefit.
متن کاملRole of clinical judgment in the application of a nucleic acid amplification test for the rapid diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis.
BACKGROUND Several nucleic acid amplification (NAA) tests for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) have been licensed for the rapid diagnosis of active pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in respiratory secretions. There is uncertainty however regarding the practical application of these tests in clinical decision making. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the utility of the COBAS AMPLICOR assay (Roche Diagnostics; ...
متن کاملTUBERCULOSIS Current evidence on diagnostic accuracy of commercially based nucleic acid amplification tests for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis
Background: Even though commercial nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) have become the most frequently used molecular tests for laboratory diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), published studies report variable estimates of their diagnostic accuracy. We analysed the accuracy of commercial NAATs for the diagnosis of pulmonary TB in smear positive and smear negative respiratory samples u...
متن کاملEffect of nucleic acid amplification for Mycobacterium tuberculosis on clinical decision making in suspected extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
BACKGROUND Laboratory-based studies have suggested the nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) for Mycobacterium tuberculosis may be useful in diagnosing extrapulmonary tuberculosis. We sought to determine how clinicians in one hospital used results of the NAAT in clinical decision making in cases of suspected extrapulmonary tuberculosis. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of all pa...
