DNA microarray chip assay in new use: early diagnostic value in cutaneous mycobacterial infection.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The clinical practicability of DNA microarray chip in detecting the presence of mycobacterial species/isolates directly in the skin tissues has not been evaluated, nor the efficacy of DNA microarray chip as a novel diagnostic tool for the early diagnosis of cutaneous mycobacterial infections is known.

Methods

The present study analyzed the incidence of cutaneous mycobacterial infections in Shanghai and explored the efficacy of a novel DNA microarray chip assay for the clinical diagnosis of the disease from skin tissue specimens compared to traditional detection methods. A total of 60 participants fulfilling the defined diagnostic criteria and confirmed positive for cutaneous mycobacterial infections from 2019 to 2021 were enrolled in the study. Subsequent to rec
