Performance of loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and antituberculosis treatment initiation

Performance of loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and antituberculosis treatment initiation

Background: Extra-pulmonary TB(EPTB) accounts for 15-20% of total TB cases in India. Many cases remain undiagnosed due to poor sensitivity/long turn-around-time of conventional diagnostic tests. Molecular tests offer rapidity, improved sensitivity and exquisite specificity, but are expensive, requir...
