Simultaneous use of two PCR systems targeting IS6110 and MPB64 for confirmation of diagnosis of tuberculous lymphadenitis
Abstract
PCR has emerged as a powerful technique for detection of various pathogens including Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In present study, eighty one samples of lymph node biopsies from clinically suspected cases of tuberculous lymphadenitis were examined for AFB, culture on Löwenstein Jensen medium and simultaneous use of two PCRs targeting IS6110 and MPB64. Positivity with M. tuberculosis culture and AFB was 13.6% and 28.4% respectively. All samples culture positive for nontuberculous mycobacteria were negative by both PCR systems. Higher proportion of positive results were observed with PCR targeting IS6110 by which 56 of 81 (69.1%) samples showed positive results as compared to PCR targeting MPB64 by which 39 of 81 (48.2 %) samples showed positive results. When combined, 63 out of 81 (77.8%) samples were detected positive for M. tuberculosis DNA. However, 7/81 (8.6 %) samples remained negative by IS6110 but positive by MPB64 method. Thus our data suggest that the use of one additional PCR (other than IS6110 system) can reduce false negativity of PCR results in the samples harboring zero copy of IS6110 element which is known to exist in Indian population.
