Progress towards improved tuberculosis diagnostics for developing countries.
The lack of accurate, robust, and rapid diagnostics for tuberculosis impedes management of patients and disease control. For individual patients, the cost, complexity, and potential toxicity of 6 months of standard treatment demands certainty in diagnosis. For communities, the risk of transmission from undetected cases requires widespread access to diagnostic services and early detection. Unfor...
متن کاملTowards a Rapid Sterility Test?
Sterility test is an established method for detecting the presence of viable forms of microorganisms in or on finished pharmaceutical products. Sterility, in this sense, means that a product is free from viable microorganisms (although not necessarily metabolic by-products or toxins). The classic form sterility test examines a pharmaceutical product in contact a culture medium, as a way of dete...

background : despite recent technologic improvements in identifying mycobacterium tuberculosis, we are still facing problems in rapid diagnosis of tuberculosis. the objective of this study is to determine the diagnostic value of a new rapid screening test (patho-tb™) for diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. methods : between september 2006 to august 2007, 178 patients were enrolled in the study...
متن کاملField evaluation of a rapid immunochromatographic test for tuberculosis.
Rapid diagnostic tests for tuberculosis (TB) are needed to facilitate early treatment of TB and prevention of Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission. The ICT Tuberculosis test is a rapid, card-based immunochromatographic test for detection of antibodies directed against M. tuberculosis antigens. The objective of the study was to evaluate the performance of the ICT Tuberculosis test for the dia...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Rapid Molecular Drug-Susceptibility Test for Tuberculosis.
BACKGROUND Fluoroquinolones and second-line injectable drugs are the backbone of treatment regimens for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, and resistance to these drugs defines extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis. We assessed the accuracy of an automated, cartridge-based molecular assay for the detection, directly from sputum specimens, of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with resistance to fluoro...
