Performance of the IS6110-TaqMan® assay in the diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis from different biological samples

CONCLUSIONS The accuracy of qPCR was high in various clinical sample types. The analysis of more than one type of clinical sample collected from the same patient with extrapulmonary tuberculosis enhances the diag nostic power of the IS6110-TaqMan® assay when compared with the use of only one clinical sample.
