Abstrakt: We aimed this study to standardize real time - polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis(Mtb) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples and compare its diagnostic performance with GeneXpert (Xpert), Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT) and Multiplex PCR (MPCR) for tuberculous meningitis (TBM).
