Rapid diagnosis Of tuberculous meningitis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

1 Oct 1990

Abstract excerpt

Using a rapid and highly sensitive method for the diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), we detected the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome in CSF of 5 of 6 patients with clinically diagnosed tuberculous meningitis. The genome was not present in CSF from 10 patients with other types of meningitis and 10 normal controls.
