We report the use of hypertonic saline and sodium hydroxide (HS-SH) for concentration-decontamination of sputum samples for the diagnosis of tuberculosis. This method increases detection of mycobacteria in smears compared to examination of direct smears, is comparable and reduces contamination in cultures compared to NALC-NaOH.
我们报告了使用高渗盐水和氢氧化钠(HS-SH)对痰液样本进行浓缩净化以诊断结核病的情况。与直接涂片检查相比,该方法增加了涂片中标杆菌的检出率,与NALC-NaOH相比,在培养物中的效果相当且减少了污染。
