Diagnosis of osteoarticular tuberculosis (OATB) is quite challenging and there is an urgent need to design a prompt and precise diagnostic test. We developed a multi-targeted loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay using (Rv1980c) and (Rv0934) targets for the detection of in OATB patients. The sensitivities of 100 and 82.4% were obtained in confirmed (n = 10) and suspected (n = 57) OATB cases, respectively by multi-targeted LAMP with a specificity of 96.9% (n = 33). Moreover, the sensitivities attained by multi-targeted LAMP in total OATB cases were significantly higher (p < 0.05-0.01) than multiplex PCR ( + ) and GeneXpert assay. Our LAMP is simple, reliable and cost-effective method, which may develop into an attractive diagnostic kit for early detection of OATB cases.
骨关节炎结核(OATB)的诊断极具挑战性,因此迫切需要设计一种快速而准确的诊断测试。我们使用(Rv1980c)和(Rv0934)靶标开发了一种多靶向环介导等温扩增(LAMP)检测方法,用于检测 OATB 患者中的。多靶向 LAMP 的灵敏度分别为 100%和 82.4%,在确诊(n=10)和疑似(n=57)OATB 病例中,特异性为 96.9%(n=33)。此外,多靶向 LAMP 在所有 OATB 病例中的灵敏度均明显高于多重 PCR(+)和 GeneXpert 检测(p<0.05-0.01)。我们的 LAMP 是一种简单、可靠且具有成本效益的方法,可能会发展成为一种有吸引力的 OATB 早期检测诊断试剂盒。
