Research progress of molecular diagnosis in pediatric drug-resistant tuberculosis / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

With the increasing of incidence rate of pediatric drug-resistant tuberculosis in recent years,pe-diatric tuberculosis as a threat to global childhood public health was serious disease and attracted more and more pediatrician concern. Pediatric tuberculosis often can′t result to typical clinical symptoms and imaging findings because its quantity of tubercle bacillus was little in lesions of infection,meanwhile,golden standard mycobacterium tuberculosis detection was time-consuming and low positive rate,pediatric tuberculosis can′t get timely diagnosis and therapy,mo-lecular diagnostic techniques of pediatric drug-resistant tuberculosis got widely clinical application and development for its advantage of rapid,accurate,efficiency and easy operation etc,several common molecular diagnostic techniques in pediatric drug-resistant tuberculosis were summarized,which would provide useful guidance for molecular diagnose of pediatric drug-resistant tuberculosis.
