ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis remains a public health problem in Turkey. Rapid detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis plays a key role in control of infection. In this article, the Gen-Probe Amplified Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Direct Test (MTD) was evaluated for detection of M. tuberculosis in urine samples. The performance of the MTD was very good and appropriate for routine laboratory diagnosis.
A tuberculose continua sendo um problema de saúde pública na Turquia. A detecção rápida de Mycobacterium tuberculosis tem um papel importante no controle da infecção. Nesse artigo, avaliou-se o Gen-Probe Amplified Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Test (MTD) para detecção de M. tuberculosis em amostras de urina. O desempenho do MTD foi muito bom e adequado para diagnóstico laboratorial de rotina.
