Abstract:

Alveolar lavage fluid specimens from inpatients with clinical diagnosis of suspected tuberculosis in Shaanxi Provincial Hospital of Tuberculosis Prevention and Treatment from October 2021 to July 2022 were collected, and acid-fast bacilli smear, mycobacterium culture (MGIT 960) and strain identification, GeneXpert MTB/RIF and simultaneous amplification and testing for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (SAT-TB) test were performed. The results were analyzed and evaluated. Taking culture result (MGIT 960) as the standard, the sensitivity of SAT-TB in the diagnosis of tuberculosis was 80.61% (399/495), and the specificity was 87.74% (1259/1435), the positive predictive value was 69.39% (399/575), the negative predictive value was 92.92% (1259/1355), and the Youden index was 0.68. SAT-TB technique has high sensitivity and specificity, is of certain value for rapid diagnosis of active tuberculosis in clinic practice.
