The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique that can be used to amplify a specific DNA genomic sequence, whereby the presence of an extremely small number of bacteria can be detected. The high sensitivity of PCR is particularly useful in paucibacillary situations such as non-pulmonary tubercu
We investigated the value of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the diagnosis of active tuberculosis in children and evaluated the relationship between PCR results in children with tuberculous infections and mediastinal adenopathies detected by computerized tomography (CT-Scan). This was a contr
