Clinical, radiological and molecular diagnosis correlation in serum samples from patients with osteoarticular tuberculosis
Objective: To assess the role of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in serum samples, in the diagnosis of osteoarticular tuberculosis (OTB) in a setting where only clinical and imaging diagnoses determine the treatment. Methods: A total of 44 consecutive serum specimens were collected from clinically s...
