- A retrospective study at Kurashiki Central Hospital investigated the effectiveness of liquid culture compared to Ogawa culture for diagnosing complex lung disease (MAC-LD) using sputum samples from 351 patients from 2002 to 2021.
- Results showed that liquid culture had a significantly higher positivity rate (98.3%) than Ogawa culture (44.9%), indicating it could help in timely diagnoses.
- The findings suggest that without liquid culture, 75.5% of patients could have faced delays in diagnosis, highlighting its importance in identifying MAC-LD early.
