Description
This method allows confirming the diagnosis of "tuberculosis" by detecting the genetic material of the pathogen in the test material. It can also be used for differential diagnosis with diseases involving lesions of the genitourinary organs. The diagnostic significance of the test lies in the speed of obtaining the study result, its high sensitivity, and specificity. The comprehensive study allows detecting the DNA of human and bovine strains of mycobacteria.
The study allows establishing the diagnosis of both pulmonary and extrapulmonary forms of the disease by detecting the genetic material of the pathogen in the biomaterial.
