A Search for Mycobacterial DNA in Granulomatous Tissues from Patients with Sarcoidosis Using the Polymerase Chain Reaction
1 May 1992
Abstract excerpt
Abstract We have used the polymerase chain reaction as a tool to detect the presence of mycobacterial DNA from organisms of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and other species of mycobacteria in samples from patients with sarcoidosis. Using systems based on the amplification of a fragment of the gene coding for the 65-kD mycobacterial antigen, which were demonstrated to detect approximately 20 mycobacterial...
