- W2065592461 abstract "The AMPLICOR assay (Roche; Branchburg, NJ), a rapid direct amplification test for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has only been licensed for use in smear-positive respiratory specimens. However, many patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) have smear-negative disease. The clinical utility of this test in patients with smear-negative PTB is unknown.To evaluate the effect of pretest probability of PTB estimated by chest physicians on the accuracy of the AMPLICOR assay in patients with smear-negative PTB.A prospective study of consecutive patients suspected of having smear-negative PTB. Two chest physicians estimated the pretest probability of active disease (high, intermediate, and low categories). Respiratory specimens were examined with radiometric broth medium cultures and with the AMPLICOR assay for M tuberculosis. The decision on a final diagnosis of PTB was blinded to the AMPLICOR results.Active PTB was diagnosed in 25 of 441 patients (5.7%). The AMPLICOR assay had an overall sensitivity of 44% and a specificity of 99%. Results of the assay were negative in seven patients with culture-negative PTB. The proportions of patients in the high, intermediate, and low pretest groups were 4.5%, 19.7%, and 75.7%, respectively. The incidence of PTB for each group was 95%, 3.4%, and 0.9%, respectively. The sensitivities of the AMPLICOR assay in the three groups of patients were 47%, 33%, and 33%, respectively, while the specificities were 100%, 98%, and 99%, respectively.In patients suspected of having smear-negative PTB, the following conclusions were drawn: (1) the incidence of active PTB was low; (2) pretest estimates accurately discriminated between patients with high and low risk of PTB; (3) the risk of PTB was overestimated in the intermediate group; and (4) the utility of the AMPLICOR assay in the intermediate-risk group may be limited by the overestimation of disease prevalence and low test sensitivity. Further studies are needed on the role of the AMPLICOR assay in better selected patients with an intermediate risk of having smear-negative PTB." @default.
