Abstract |
PCR (polymerase chain reaction) applied to not only the identification of mutations in well-known and fully sequenced human genes, inherited diseases but also infectious diseases. Generally, PCR is a rapid and highly sensitive method for diagnosis of infectious diseases. Because of the apparent high frequency of tuberulosis occuring in patients seen in our countries, we emphasize much more the efforts in differentiating tuberculosis and others type of peritonitis patients undergoing CAPD. We experienced two cases with tuberculosis peritoni- tis undergoing CAPD caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis were diagnosed by use of PCR and report with review of literatures. |
