Bacterial killing in patients with tuberculosis (TB) relapse was compared to that in patients achieving cure, measured by TB molecular bacterial load assay (TB-MBLA) or mycobacteria growth indicator tube (MGIT) time to positivity (TTP). TB-MBLA in 4 relapsed patients was significantly different compared to 132 cured patients after 2 weeks of treatment; MGIT TTP showed a significant difference from week 8.
比较了结核(TB)复发患者和获得治愈的患者的细菌清除率,通过结核分子细菌负荷检测(TB-MBLA)或分枝杆菌生长指示管(MGIT)阳性时间(TTP)来衡量。与 132 例治愈患者相比,4 例复发患者在治疗 2 周后 TB-MBLA 显著不同;MGIT TTP 在第 8 周时显示出显著差异。
