A 36-year-old male patient was diagnosed with tuberculosis in Antwerp, Belgium, in May 2018. His lymph node aspirate initially tested rifampicin resistant in Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra, but tested susceptible in all other tests including targeted deep sequencing due to a rare matrix effect in the Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra reaction tube.
一名36岁男性患者于2018年5月在比利时安特卫普被诊断为结核病。他的淋巴结穿刺液最初在Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra检测中对利福平耐药,但在所有其他检测(包括靶向深度测序)中均检测为敏感,这是由于Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra反应管中存在罕见的基质效应。
