urine pcr evaluation to diagnose pulmonary tuberculosis

چکیده
conclusions with regard to the ease of urine sample preparation and the 100% specificity the pcr method, performing urine pcr could be used as a diagnostic aid in ptb cases obtaining sputum samples is problematic. results results of the current study indicated that 48 (62.3%) patients out of 77 had a positive sputum culture. urine cultures and acid-fast smears were negative. urine pcr-tb was positive in 48.0% (37/77) of the patients. the specific tbpcr complex was positive in 56.2% (27/48) of the positive cultures and 34.4% (10/29) of the negative culture ptb patients. the control group had negative urine pcr (sensitivity 56.2% and specificity 100%). patients and methods this case-control study included; 77 proven pulmonary tuberculosis cases (according to the national tb protocol), and 30 subjects who were completely healthy. the urine samples (50ml) were mixed with 0.5mlethylene diamine tetraacetic acid. dna extraction and pcr testing were performed on all blood samples using si 6110 primers. mycobacterium tuberculosis was also cultivated in the sputum and urine samples of the patients. objectives the current study investigated the diagnostic value of tuberculosis-polymerase chain reaction (tb-pcr) of urine in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (ptb). background culture and specific staining (including zeil-nelson and fluorescent methods) are standard measures for the diagnosis of tuberculosis (tb). these methods are time-consuming and sometimes have a low level of accuracy. in addition, in some cases obtaining samples for smear and culture involves invasive procedures; while in other cases there is no suitable sample for evaluation. therefore, there is a need for faster and more accurate diagnostic methods.

متن کاملUse of conventional PCR and smear microscopy to diagnose pulmonary tuberculosis in the Amazonian rainforest area
The diagnostic usefulness of Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN)-stained sputum smears combined with conventional polymerase chain reaction (ZN/PCR) to amplify IS6110 region DNA extracted from ZN slides was evaluated. The objective was to verify if this association could improve tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis in patients at remote sites. The study was carried out in 89 patients with culture-confirmed pulmonary TB ...
متن کاملClassification and Rule-Based Approach to Diagnose Pulmonary Tuberculosis
The paper proposes a novel methodology using the classification technique called Identification tree (IDT) to diagnose pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) computationally. It uses an exhaustive list of parameters by integrating the results of different medical examinations that are used conventionally. The model reduces the number of parameters required for the diagnosis from 45 to 19. It also offers a...
