Low sensitivity of polymerase chain reaction for diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis in southeastern Brazil

Low sensitivity of polymerase chain reaction for diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis in southeastern Brazil

Two polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocols showed low sensitivity (36% and 53% for TB AMPLICOR and MPB64 nested PCR, respectively), when compared with classic microbiological methods (73% and 54% for Ziehl-Neelsen staining and culture, respectively), in the diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis in...
