Tuberculosis lipoarabinomannan immunohistochemistry AFB PCR tuberculosis
Conditions
Interventions
The positive immunohistochemical image of anti-
lipoarabinomannan monoclonal antibody is a granular round dot. We count the dots in 1 hotspot under 40x to determine the cut-
off point yielding the best diagnostic ability.
