Özet

Introduction: Tuberculosis, one of the most common and deadly infectious diseases, mainly affects the lungs, but can involve all tissues and organs. Diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis may be more challenging than pulmonary tuberculosis, which may lead to delay in starting treatment. In our study, it was aimed to determine the diagnostic value of FluoroType MTB, GeneXpert MTB/RIF, GeneXpert MTB/RIF Ultra molecular tests in extrapulmonary specimens.
