Summary

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary tuberculosis remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Thailand. The microbiological detection of TB is important because of early and correct diagnosis, drug resistance testing and ensures that the effective treatment can be achieved and in a timely manner. Mycobacterial culture is the gold standard diagnostic test. Currently, a real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay, such as Allplex™ MTB/MDRe Detection, Seegene is commonly used.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnosis value of the real-time multiplex PCR by using Allplex™ MTB/MDRe Detection kit to detect MTB from sputum specimens with a gold standard TB culture.
