Evaluation of the IS6110 PCR assay for the rapid diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis

2 Nov 2007

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is one of the common clinical manifestations of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. It is difficult to diagnose due to a lack of rapid, sensitive, and specific tests. Newer methods, which are easy and reliable, are required to diagnose TBM at an early stage. Thus our aim was to evaluate the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, using primers directed against the IS6110...
