使用Gen-Probe的扩增结核分枝杆菌直接试验（amplification Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Direct Test）对717例呼吸道标本分别使用500 μ l沉淀物进行筛选，与我们之前使用50 μ l沉淀物（71.4%）的研究相比，该试验的灵敏度（83.3%）有所提高，但对其特异性（分别为99.4%和99.0%）没有不良影响。
Using 500 mu l of sediment each for screening of 717 respiratory tract specimens by Gen-Probe's Amplified Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Direct Test improved the sensitivity (83.3%) of the assay, compared,vith our previous study using 50 mu l of sediment (71.4%), without adversely affecting its specificity (99.4 and 99.0%, respectively).
