PY - 2004 DA - 2004/02/23 TI - Nucleic acid amplification tests in the diagnosis of tuberculous pleuritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis JO - BMC Infectious Diseases SP - 6 VL - 4 IS - 1 AB - Conventional tests for tuberculous pleuritis have several limitations. A variety of new, rapid tests such as nucleic acid amplification tests – including polymerase chain reaction – have been evaluated in recent times. We conducted a systematic review to determine the accuracy of nucleic acid amplification (NAA) tests in the diagnosis of tuberculous pleuritis.
