Detection of mycobacterium tuberculosis by microscopic examination and gene expert in a suspected patient with pulmonary tuberculosis disease, in Dili City, East Timor
Keywords:
mycobacterium, patient, pulmonary TB suspect, tuberculosis, Xpert gene microscopeAbstract
Tuberculosis is one of the most dangerous and deadly diseases, so control is needed to reduce the transmission rate of TB disease and mortality among the community, so the gene method is very appropriate to be able to help in diagnosing TB. Acid-resistant bacilli are bacteria that have a very thick lipid content so that the staining cannot be affected by other dye reactions, except by using phenol and through the heating process. Mycobacterium tuberculosis has a cell wall consisting of a waxy coating and mycolic acid; therefore, these bacteria can only color with BTA. Mycbakterium Tuberculosis can maintain the first color, namely Carbun Fuchin, and fight decolorization with alcoholic acid, so this bacterium is called an acid-resistant bacillus. The right examination method to diagnose TB disease is necessary to be able to follow the appropriate treatment so as to reduce transmission and death rates due to TB disease. The aim of this research is to analyze the difference in examination results using microscopes and Gene Xpert machines in Dili district in suspected patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.
