Background: The diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) shows numerous difficulties because of non-specific symptomatology and low sensitivity of conventional methods. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a fast and low-cost technique, which can amplify under isothermal conditions an amount of target DNA copies into approximately a billion copies.
Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate a IS6110-LAMP system for Mycobacterium tuberculosis detection in blood and urine samples from patients with EPTB.
