Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 10/14/09
Ben–Selma W et al. – The usefulness of a new rapid diagnostic test (Patho–TB) using antibodies specific to mycobacterial antigens was evaluated for the rapid discrimination between pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and non–TB pulmonary diseases on sputa. Patho–TB test is simple, quick, and easy to perform. Its sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value are satisfactory.
