Limits of detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in spiked cerebrospinal fluid using the polymerase chain reaction in tuberculous meningitis

The limit of detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in spiked cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was compared to that of a radiometric liquid culture. Serial dilutions of clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were prepared in CSF (n=3) or broth (n=11) with est...
