Molecular Study of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection in TB Centers , Ninava

ABSTRACT Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the main health concerns in many countries. Researches on TB care quality and patient survival are a lot but still TB represents a huge health concern. Owing to this, the study evaluates the methods used to detect TB patients as well as the impact of risk factors that are related to the life of patients. The study includes 496 patients whose recorded tuberculosis cases attended Mosul Respiratory infectious Center. Data were analysed using Gene x-pert method ( kits obtained from Sacace) Biotechnologies, and acid-fast stain method (Ziehl–Neelsen stain). Later, these methods are compared among the patients. The comparison held showed that the Specimens collection of 496 were processed for the detection of tuberculosis using GENE X-PERT was more sensitive than Acid-fast stain with a percentage rate (of 26.35%), (22.55%) respectively. A high percentage of tuberculosis can be found in the age group between (10-20 years), (and 90-100 years) and a low percentage can be found in younger people. The demographic distribution of tuberculosis is more in low-income and overcrowded societies which recorded a significant increase of prevalence. It is concluded that the GENE X-PERT technique is fast, accurate, and effective in the detection of tuberculosis for a period not exceeding 4 hours only. In addition, it is an easy-to-use method with a relatively low cost, and it can be performed in low-income areas. electronic document is a “live” template.
