Abstract
Goal of the study: to define the informativeness of diaskintest as a screening method in urogenital tuberculosis patients.
Materials and methods. A simple, open cohort study was conducted enrolling 130 patients: Group 1 included active cases of urogenital tuberculosis – 58 persons; Group 2 included those suffering from chronic urogenital disorders confirmed to have no urogenital tuberculosis – 72 persons.
Results. 63.8% of patients from Group 1 had a positive result of diaskintest, as well as 62.5% of patients from Group 2. Sensitivity to diaskintest in adult cases of active urogenital tuberculosis made 63.8%. The high rate of positive results of diaskintest in those suffering from chronic urogenital disorders proved the low specificity of the test – 37.5%.
