Abstract
- ObjectivesTo compare the performance of liquid culture on simple Middlebrook 7H9 to the one of manual mycobacterial growth indicator tube (MGIT) and solid culture on Ogawa for the diagnosis of smear-negative tuberculosis (SN-TB) in a high-burden, resource-constrained setting. MethodsSputum samples from patients with clinical suspicion of SN-PTB admitted to two-third-level hospitals in Lima between September 2005 and May 2008 were cultured in parallel on simple Middlebrook 7H9, manual MGIT and Ogawa. A case of SN-TB was defined as one with a positive culture in any medium. ResultsAmong samples from 542 patients, 151 (28%) cases of SN-TB were identified. The sensitivity of Middlebrook 7H9 (0.76, 95% CI 0.69-0.83) was not substantially different from that of MGIT (0.85, 95% CI 0.79-0.91). Ogawa had the lowest sensitivity (0.63, 95% CI 0.55-0.71). The median turnaround time was similar for both liquid media (18days), and it was shorter than that of Ogawa (30days). ConclusionsCulture on simple Middlebrook 7H9 performs almost as well as MGIT, at a probably more affordable cost. Further studies on the cost-effectiveness of this overlooked technique should be performed. ObjectifsComparer les performances de la culture liquide sur milieu simple Middlebrook 7H9 a celles sur MGIT manuel et sur milieu solide Ogawa pour le diagnostic de la tuberculose pulmonaire a frottis negatif (TBP-FN) dans une region a prevalence elevee et a ressources limitees. MethodesDes echantillons de crachats de patients avec une suspicion clinique de TBP-FN, admis dans deux hopitaux tertiaires a Lima entre septembre 2005 et mai 2008, ont ete cultives en parallele sur milieu simple Middlebrook 7H9, MGIT manuel et Ogawa. La TBP-FN a ete defini comme un cas avec au moins une culture positive sur n'importe quel milieu. ResultatsParmi les echantillons de 542 patients, 151 (28%) cas de TBP-FN ont ete identifies. La sensibilite du Middlebrook 7H9 (0,76; IC 95%: 0,69 a 0,83) n'etait pas significativement differente de celle du MGIT (0,85; IC 95%: 0,79 a 0,91). Ogawa avait la sensibilite la plus faible (0,63; IC 95%: 0,55 a 0,71). Le delai median etait similaire pour les deux milieux liquides (18 jours) et etait plus court que pour Ogawa (30 jours). ConclusionsLa culture sur milieu simple Middlebrook 7H9 est presque qu'aussi performante que sur MGIT a un cout probablement plus abordable. Des etudes supplementaires sur le rapport cout-efficacite de cette technique neglige devraient etre effectuees. ObjetivosComparar el desempeno del cultivo en medio liquido Middlebrook 7H9 con el sistema manual MGIT y el cultivo solido en Ogawa, para el diagnostico de tuberculosis con baciloscopia negativa (TB-BN) en un lugar con una carga alta de enfermedad y pocos recursos. MetodosLas muestras de esputo de los pacientes con sospecha clinica de TB-BN admitidos en dos hospitales de tercer nivel en Lima, entre Septiembre 2005 y Mayo 2008, se cultivaron en paralelo en medio liquido de Middlebrook 7H9, en MGIT y en Ogawa. Un caso de TB-BN se definio como positivo para cultivo en cualquier medio. ResultadosEntre las muestras de 542 pacientes, se identificaron 151 (28%) casos de TB-BN. La sensibilidad del 7H9 (0.76, IC 95% 0.69-0.83) no era sustancialmente diferente de la del MGIT (0.85, IC95% 0.79-0.91). El Ogawa tenia la menor sensibilidad (0.63, IC 95% 0.55-0.71). El tiempo medio de respuesta era similar para los dos medios liquidos (18 dias) y era mas corto que el del Ogawa (30 dias). ConclusionesEl cultivo en medio liquido Middlebrook 7H9 tiene un desempeno casi tan bueno como el de MGIT, con un coste probablemente mas asumible. Se deberian realizar mas estudio sobre la costo-efectividad de esta tecnica olvidada.
