Evaluation of molecular and bacteriological detection methods performed on the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded biopsy samples collected from endometrial and lymph node tuberculosis suspected patients
In a resource-limited setting, the selection of diagnostic tools needs careful attention. Putting the patients on anti-TB treatments based solely on histopathological findings may lead to undesired and adverse complications. Therefore, applying molecular and bacteriological detection methods along with histopathology, could help minimize inappropriate antimicrobial use.
