Evaluation of PCR Using TRC <sub>4</sub> and IS <i>6110</i> Primers in Detection of Tuberculous Meningitis
1 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
We have evaluated a new set of primers (TRC(4)) in comparison with the IS6110 primers commonly used in PCR to detect tuberculous meningitis among children. The levels of concordance between the results of IS6110 PCR and TRC(4) PCR with cerebrospinal fluid specimens from patients with clinically confirmed tuberculous meningitis were 80 and 86%, respectively. Results with the two primer sets were concordant for 55...
