Abstract:
Objective: To explore the application value of in situ immunofluorescence staining combined with RNA in situ hybridization technology in the detection of
Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Methods: A retrospective study method was used to select 100 granulomatous inflammation patients with lung or lymph node puncture or surgical specimen diagnosed by pathological biopsy as the study subjects.Of these,70 cases were confirmed tuberculosl(TB) patients(confirmed group),and 30 cases were non-TB patients(control group).Based on the results of real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR,the acid-fast staining,in situ immunofluorescence staining and RNA in situ hybridization were performed.The diagnostic efficacy of RNA in situ hybridization combined with in situ immunofluorescence staining in the detection of
Mycobacterium tuberculosis was evaluated.
Results: Taking the results of real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR as the gold standard,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,accuracy and Youden index of acid-fast staining were 30.00%,93.33%,91.33%,36.36%,49.00% and 0.233,respectively;the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,accuracy and Youden index of in situ immunofluorescence staining were 51.43%,93.33%,94.74%,45.16%,64.00% and 0.447,respectively;the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,accuracy and Youden index of RNA in situ hybridization were 77.14%,100.00%,100.00%,65.22%,84.00% and 0.771,respectively;the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,accuracy and Youden index of in situ immunofluorescence staining combined with RNA in situ hybridization were 84.29%,100.00%,100.00%,73.17%,89.00% and 0.843,respectively.The ROC curve AUC value of in situ immunofluorescence staining combined with RNA in situ hybridization technology was 0.951,the ROC curve AUC value of RNA in situ hybridization technology was 0.768,and the ROC curve AUC value of in situ immunofluorescence staining was 0.843.
Conclusions: The sensitivity and specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,accuracy and Youden index of in situ immunofluorescence staining combined with RNA in situ hybridization technology are high.It is a potential method for detecting
Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
