Abstract

The CapitalBio™ Mycobacterium nucleic acid detection test is a real-time fluorescent polymerase chain reaction and TaqMan probe technology test for rapid diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB). This test had moderate sensitivity and high specificity for EPTB, like that of Xpert MTB/RIF, especially for lymph node, chest wall, and purulent fluid samples.
