Evaluating multiplex PCR, culture & histopathology in the diagnosis of Tubercular Lymphadenitis
Abstract:
Tubercular lymphadenitis (TBLN) is the most common manifestations of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) accounting for 30-40% of cases with multiple discrepancy in diagnosis. Rapid diagnosis and timely initiation of anti-tubercular therapy (ATT) is the key for successful clinical effects. This study was carried out to evaluate multiplex polymerase chain reaction (MPCR) using MTP40, IS6110, 32 kD-alpha antigen encoding gene, and mycobacterial specific genes (rpoB, katG & inhA promoter region), and compare with the conventional methods for rapid diagnosis of TBLN
