Evaluation of Polymerase Chain Reaction for Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Pleural Fluid

Tuberculosis, a reemergent killer, is threatening to assume serious proportions all over the world, particularly in view of the AIDS pandemic. The detection of mycobacterial DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in clinical samples is a promising approach for the rapid diagnosis of tuberculous infe...
