Acid Fast Stain Sputum Smear Images Data Set for Diagnosis of Tuberculosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many of the computer science researchers now work for design automatic system for fast & accurate recognition of tuberculosis(TB), to speed up the treatment process of patient to save patient life. Any type of research is not possible without data. It is critical for computer researcher to prepare Ziehl-Neelsen stain sputum smear slide & to setup image acquisition technique on simple light microscope. We are preparing acid fast stain sputum smear images

The Value of Bronchoalveolar Lavage in the Diagnosis of Sputum Smear-NegativePulmonary Tuberculosis
Background and Objectives: Sputum smear staining for acid-fast bacilli is initial approach to the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) but more than 50% of cases are sputum smear-negative. This study was aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) guided bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in patients suspected to have tuberculosis. Methods: This prospective cross-...
متن کاملUsefulness of bronchoscopic aspirate in sputum negative acid fast bacilli cases in the diagnosis of tuberculosis - A study of 30 cases
The confirming diagnosis for tuberculosis as recommended by World Health Organization is by detecting the Acid Fast Bacilli bacteriologically in the respiratory specimens. In certain cases, where there is a strong clinical and radiological suspicion for tuberculosis and with repeated sputum samples showing negativity for AFB, bronchoscopic study with bronchial washings for the detection of AFB ...

Background and purpose: Computed tomography (CT) scan is of great help in confirming the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) before the sputum test result. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between pulmonary involvement patterns in CT scans of TB patients with positive sputum smears. Materials and methods: This retrospective descriptive-analytical study was conducted usi...
متن کاملComparison of sensitivity and specificity of PCR and sputum smear compared to culture in diagnosis of tuberculosis
Background: Molecular detection has recently been proposed by nucleic acid amplification, known as polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic method of smear and polymerase chain reaction with culture in terms of sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods: In this cross-sectional...
متن کاملComparison of induced versus expectorated sputum for diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis by acid-fast smear.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the sensitivity of induced versus expectorated sputum for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis by acid-fast smear. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of data on patients with cultures from respiratory secretions that were positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We analyzed data on the 114 patients with positive cultures during a 4-year period in an urban ter...
