Abstract

The specificities and sensitivities of the Bactec mycobacterial growth indicator tube (MGIT) system for the recovery ofMycobacterium tuberculosisfrom pleural fluid are not statistically different than those of the Myco/F lytic liquid culture system. The time to positivity is shorter in the MGIT system (12.7 versus 20.7 days, respectively;P= 0.007). The Myco/F lytic culture system may be an alternative to the MGIT system for diagnosing pleural tuberculosis.
