Diagnostic value of nucleic acid amplification tests for tuberculous pleural effusion.
Future microbiology(2023)
摘要
Diagnosing tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE) is challenging for pulmonologists and laboratory scientists. The gold standards for TPE diagnosis are pleural fluid Ziehl-Neelsen staining, () culture and pleural biopsy. These tools have limitations, including low sensitivity, long turnaround time and invasiveness. The nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) is a rapid and minimally invasive tool for diagnosing TPE. This review summarizes the diagnostic accuracy of available NAATs for TPE, with a focus on the evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The NAATs summarized in this review include in-house NAATs, GeneXpert-MTB/RIF, GeneXpert-MTB/RIF Ultra, simultaneous amplification and testing-tuberculosis, FluoroType MTB and loop-mediated isothermal amplification.
