Abstract:

The diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis is based on the results of etiology (including bacteriology and molecular biology), and the sensitivity of etiology is affected by the quality of sputum samples. The quality of sputum samples is related to the collection time and method. This paper reviews the collection time, collection methods and intervention measures of sputum samples from patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, so as to provide reference for improving the etiological detection rate.
