PCR Amplification of the IS 6110 Insertion Element of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Fecal Samples from Patients with Intestinal Tuberculosis

1 May 2006

Abstract excerpt

PCR amplification of insertion element IS6110 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in fecal samples was evaluated in the diagnosis of intestinal tuberculosis (ITB). The numbers of samples that tested positive by PCR with SalI digestion were 16/18 untreated-ITB samples, 0/8 treated-ITB samples, 12/14 smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis samples, and 0/30 control samples. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive...
