我们前瞻性地研究了 Xpert MTB/RIF（结核分枝杆菌/利福平 [RIF] 耐药性）检测在 20 例确诊的结核性胸腔积液病例中的诊断效用。胸腔积液中 Xpert 检测的敏感性和特异性分别为 25% 和 100%。所有 Xpert 检测呈阳性的病例，胸水培养也呈阳性。
We prospectively investigated the diagnostic utility of the Xpert MTB/RIF (Mycobacterium tuberculosis/rifampin [RIF] resistance) assay in 20 cases with confirmed tuberculous pleural effusion. The sensitivity and specificity of the Xpert assay in pleural fluid were 25% and 100%, respectively. All cases positive by the Xpert assay were also positive by pleural fluid culture.
