PCR diagnostics in phthisiatric practice
The PCR method allows you to get results within a few hours, which makes it possible to start treatment quickly and reduces the likelihood of complications, improves the prognosis for the patient and reduces the risk of infection transmission.
Tuberculosis remains one of the leading causes of death from infectious diseases worldwide. With its high sensitivity and specificity, PCR method offers quick and accurate detection of mycobacteria causing tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis - Mycobacterium bovis complex) in human biomaterial, even when their concentration in a sample is low. Early diagnosis of tuberculosis is critical for effective treatment. The test makes it possible to accurately distinguish between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other mycobacteria, which is key to prescribing adequate treatment.
Advantages of PCR diagnostics
Unlike traditional mycobacterial cultivation methods that take at least 10-14 days to complete, PCR test results can be obtained within a few hours. Quick results enable prompt treatment initiation, reduce the likelihood of complications, improve patient prognosis and decrease the risk of infection transmission. In combination with other diagnostic methods, PCR can be used to assess the effectiveness of treatment.Our research
