Co-Infection of NTM in Patients With Smear Positive Pulmonary TB

June 20, 2009 updated by: Seoul National University Hospital

Detection of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial co-Infection Using Duplex PCR for Mycobacterial Hsp 65 Gene and Its Clinical Significance in Patients With Smear Positive Pulmonary Tuberculosis

The aim of this study is to elucidate the prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) co-infection in patients with smear positive pulmonary TB. To detect the NTM co-infection, we will perform duplex PCR targeted for mycobacterial hsp 65 gene using sputa. In addition, the clinical significance of this co-infection will be evaluated.
