IDENTIFICATION OF Mycobacterium tuberculosis BY POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION (PCR) TEST AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO MGG STAINING OF PLEURAL FLUID IN PATIENTS WITH SUSPECTED TUBERCULOUS PLEURAL EFFUSION
Abstract:Pleural effusion is a condition characterized by the accumulation of excessive pleural fluid in pleural cavity as a result of transudation and exudation. The most commonly reported cause of exudative pleural effusion is Mycobaterium tuberculosis. This study was aimed to identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis in pleural fluid through PCR test and to examine the relationship between PCR test and MGG staining of pleural fluid in patients with suspected tuberculous pleural effusion, which was performed in Clinical Pa… Show more
