Abstract

Abstract:

Tuberculosis is a major threat to children’s health. However, there are many difficulties in the diagnosis of tuberculosis in children. With the development of molecular biology technique, more and more new diagnostic methods for tuberculosis have emerged, including GeneXpert MTB/RIF, GeneXpert MTB/RIF ultra, metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) and methods based on isothermal amplification, as well as host based molecular diagnostic methods. This paper reviews the application of these methods in children.
