Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification for Rapid and Reliable Diagnosis of Tuberculous Meningitis

Abstract excerpt

Diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is often difficult. A reliable, simple, and rapid diagnostic test that can be performed in any standard laboratory could be helpful in TBM diagnosis. In this study, a loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay (LAMP) was evaluated to rapidly detect and diagnose TBM infection and was compared to the performance of nested PCR. Six specific primers were used to recognize...
