Polymerase Chain Reaction For Assessing Treatment Response In Patients With Pulmonary Tuberculosis

1 Sept 1994

Abstract excerpt

The use of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for assessing treatment response in tuberculosis was investigated. Serial sputum samples were analyzed from 10 Tanzanian patients treated for smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis, including 4 who relapsed after initially successful treatment. A one-tube nested PCR with a colorimetric detection system was compared with microscopy and culture. Samples were found to be...
