Urinary lipoarabinomannan (LAM) detection is a promising approach for rapid diagnosis of active tuberculosis (TB). In microbiologically confirmed TB patients, quantitative LAM detection results increased progressively with bacillary burden and immunosuppression. Patients with disseminated TB and/or advanced HIV are target populations for whom urine LAM detection may be particularly useful.
尿脂阿拉伯甘露聚糖(LAM)检测是一种有前途的快速诊断活动性肺结核(TB)的方法。在微生物学确诊的 TB 患者中,定量 LAM 检测结果随细菌负担和免疫抑制的增加而逐渐增加。患有播散性 TB 和/或晚期 HIV 的患者是该检测方法特别有用的目标人群。
