Novel Wide-Range Quantitative Nested Real-Time PCR Assay for Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA: Clinical Application for Diagnosis of Tuberculous Meningitis
13 Mar 2008
Abstract excerpt
Although the "gold standard" for diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is bacterial isolation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, there are still several complex issues. Recently, we developed an internally controlled novel wide-range quantitative nested real-time PCR (WR-QNRT-PCR) assay for M. tuberculosis DNA in order to rapidly diagnose TBM. For use as an internal control calibrator to measure the copy number...
