RESUMO
A reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR) e suas variações, como a nested-PCR, têm sido destacadas como técnicas moleculares promissoras para o diagnóstico rápido da tuberculose (TB). No presente estudo avaliou-se a nested-PCR utilizando-se como marcadores moleculares a seqüência IS6110 e o antígeno b aplicados ao diagnóstico da TB. Foram submetidas a baciloscopia, cultura e nested-PCR 136 amostras clínicas de pacientes com suspeita de TB. O diagnóstico de tuberculose pulmonar foi atribuído a 116 pacientes e, desses, 97 foram multibacilares e 111 apresentaram cultura positiva para M. tuberculosis. As reações de nested-PCR identificaram 70 por cento (antígeno b) e 94 por cento (IS6110) dos casos paucibacilares. Os valores de sensibilidade determinados para cultura, nested-PCR do IS6110 e antígeno b foram 95 por cento, 98 por cento e 86 por cento, respectivamente. A especificidade foi de 100 por cento, 15 por cento e 45 por cento para cultura, nested-PCR do IS6110 e antígeno b, respectivamente. O diagnóstico molecular da tuberculose deve estar fundamentado na análise conjunta de vários parâmetros, como baciloscopia, cultura, manifestações clínicas, prova terapêutica e história prévia de tuberculose.
ABSTRACT
Chain reaction of polimerase (PCR) and its variations such as the nested-PCR have been outstanding as promising molecular techniques for the fast diagnosis of the tuberculosis (TB). In the present study the nested-PCR was evaluated using as molecular markers the sequence IS6110 and the antigen b applied to the diagnosis of TB. One hundred and thirty six clinical samples of patients with suspicion of TB were submitted to the baciloscopia, culture and nested-PCR. The diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis was attributed to 116 patients, of these, 97 were multi-bacilli and 111 presented positive culture for M. tuberculosis. The nested-PCR reactions identified 70 percent (antigen b) and 94 percent (IS6110) of the acid-fast smear negative cases of tuberculosis. The sensibility values determined for culture, and nested-PCR of IS6110 and antigen b were 95 percent, 98 percent and 86 percent, respectively. The specificity was 100 percent, 15 percent and 45 percent for culture, nested-PCR of IS6110 and antigen b, respectively. The molecular diagnosis of the tuberculosis should be based in the combined analysis of several parameters, as the baciloscopia, culture, clinical manifestations, therapeutic proves and previous history of tuberculosis.
