Enhancing tuberculosis diagnosis by polymerase chain reaction: An experience at a tertiary hospital

Show other versions (1)

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) persists as a severe global public health issue. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the performance of an in-house TB PCR (polymerase chain reaction) in sputum. Methods: DNA from sputum specimens were submitted to a nested-PCR protocol for the IS6110 region...
