Comparison of amplicor and 32-kilodalton PCR for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from sputum specimens.

H Soini1, S A Agha, A El-Fiky, M K Viljanen.   

Abstract

The commercial PCR test Amplicor was compared with the 32-kDa PCR for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from 76 sputum specimens from Egyptian patients. Both tests performed with rather equal efficacy (resolved sensitivity of 88.9% for both tests; specificity of 98.0% for Amplicor and 93.9% for 32-kDa PCR). PCR was found to be useful in detection of auramine fluorescent stain-positive, culture-negative specimens.
