Accurate and rapid diagnosis of mycobacterial infections is significant for appropriate treatment. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the performance of the Anyplex MTB/NTM real-time detection assay (Anyplex MTB/NTM) compared to mycobacterial culture in detecting complex (MTBC) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in 9,575 clinical specimens. For MTBC detection, the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and percent agreement of the Anyplex MTB/NTM were 79.7%, 94.5%, 64.4%, 97.4%, and 92.9%, respectively. In pediatric patient (age ≤15) specimens, the Anyplex MTB/NTM demonstrated 84.8% sensitivity and 95.8% specificity. For NTM detection, the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and percent agreement were 44.9%, 97.7%, 36.7%, 98.4%, and 96.2%, respectively. The sensitivity of the Anyplex MTB/NTM was enhanced in acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear-positive specimens which was 97.7% and 80% for MTBC and NTM detection, respectively. The Anyplex MTB/NTM is a rapid tool for detection and differentiation of MTBC and NTM in clinical specimens.

Background: Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is a common central nervous system infectious disease. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay is a useful method for the rapid diagnosis of TBM. The Seegene Anyplex MTB/NTM real-time detection assay has good sensitivity and specificity for detection of tuberculosis in respiratory specimens, though, data regarding other specimens are lacking.

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a simple and efficient nucleic acid amplification method for the rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases. This study assessed the performance of an in-house LAMP for tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis at a remote reference laboratory in the endemic setting of Thailand. As part of the routine service, 1,882 sputum samples were processed for mycobacterial culture in Lowenstein-Jensen and MGIT media.

One of the most important steps for the control of tuberculosis is rapid and accurate detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in clinical samples. The early and accurate diagnosis of tuberculosis allows the initiation of the effective treatment regimen as early as possible. However the early diagnosis of tuberculosis can be achieved by the integration of molecular methods into the diagnostic algorithm of tuberculosis together with the gold standard culture methods.

Background: Real-time (RT) PCR is a rapid and accurate method that is widely used for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTB). The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the performance of the Genedia MTB/NTM Detection Kit and the Anyplex plus MTB/NTM Detection kit in the detection of MTB and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in clinical specimens.
Methods: From October 2017 to February 2018, 236 respiratory specimens and 137 non-respiratory specimens, from patients with suspected tuberculosis, were examined.
