False-positive amplified Mycobacterium tuberculosis direct test results for samples containing Mycobacterium leprae.

Abstract

Nucleic acid amplification tests are widely used in mycobacteriology laboratories to rapidly detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex directly in clinical specimens. A positive result provides an early diagnosis of tuberculosis, allowing initiation of appropriate therapy and public health measures.
