Performance of Real-Time Semi-Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay for Optimum Diagnosis of Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis and Sensitivity to Rifampin in a Tertiary Care Center
Background: Tuberculosis represents a public health problem, with extrapulmonary disease occurring in 15% of incident cases annually. Early diagnosis is a challenge due to its paucibacillary nature. Recently, a molecular real-time semi-quantitative assay (GeneXpert Ultra) was developed to overcome l...
