Abstrakt: Thirty-one patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis were examined. The efficiencies of modified luminescence microscopy (with superfine iron added), enzyme immunoassay (using two test systems made in Moscow and Saint Petersburg (Russia) and the MycoDot rapid diagnosis (USA) were compared. The highest sensitivity was found in the modified luminescence microscopy (45.2%) and enzyme immunoassay [Moscow test system (48.4%)]. The enzyme immunoassay (Saint Petersburg test system) and Mycodot were noted for its less sensitivity, but its high specificity.
