Plasma <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> cell-free DNA assay: a diagnostic tool for tuberculosis lymphadenitis
This study demonstrated that <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> cell-free DNA can be detected in the plasma of over half of tuberculosis lymphadenitis patients. The plasma <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> cell-free DNA assay could serve as a valuable, less-invasive complement to existing fine needle aspiration diagnostics.
