Limits of commercial molecular tests for diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Several studies report high specificity, but variable sensitivity, of Amplified Mycobacterium tuberculosis Direct Test (AMTDT, Gen-Probe) based on ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) amplification and Amplicor Mycobacterium tuberculosis test (Amplicor, Roche) based on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) amplification for diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. We have retrospectively evaluated these assays ...
متن کاملRadiological Dependence in Diagnosis of Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Introduction: Diagnosis of tuberculosis under the National Tuberculosis Control Program (NTCP) is based on microscopic examination of sputum. The main objective of this study was to assess the perception of physicians and patients regarding the importance of chest X-ray in diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis with a view to suggest corrective measures. Materials & Methods: One hundred and eight...

متن کاملCommercial Serological Antibody Detection Tests for the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A Systematic Review
BACKGROUND The global tuberculosis epidemic results in nearly 2 million deaths and 9 million new cases of the disease a year. The vast majority of tuberculosis patients live in developing countries, where the diagnosis of tuberculosis relies on the identification of acid-fast bacilli on unprocessed sputum smears using conventional light microscopy. Microscopy has high specificity in tuberculosi...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Pulmonary Tuberculosis Using Artificial Intelligence (Naive Bayes Algorithm)
Background and Aim: Despite the implementation of effective preventive and therapeutic programs, no significant success has been achieved in the reduction of tuberculosis. One of the reasons is the delay in diagnosis. Therefore, the creation of a diagnostic aid system can help to diagnose early Tuberculosis. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the role of the Naive Bayes algorithm as a...
