Loop-mediated isothermal amplification for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and evaluation in paraffin-embedded lymph nodes

Tuberculosis is a treatable disease, but remains a major cause of mortality. Culture for Mycobacterium is needed to make a definitive diagnosis; thus, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) was attempted for its detection in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples. Materials and method: Archival FFPE blocks were used from 64 patients...
