Superiority of TB-PCR Over Conventional and Immunologic Tests for Diagnosing Tuberculosis in Small Bronchoscopic Non-Malignant Specimens
The application of TB-PCR for the detection of lung samples obtained through respiratory endoscopy holds significant clinical application value in the diagnosis of TB. Clinicians should fully recognize the merits and potential of TB-PCR technology, proactively apply it in clinical practice, and choose appropriate detection methods based on the specific conditions of patients.
