Novel multi-targeted polymerase chain reaction for diagnosis of presumed tubercular uveitisAbstract: Multi-targeted PCR was positive in seven out of nine patients with presumed tubercular uveitis and negative in all normal and disease controls. The sensitivity and specificity were 77.77% and 100%, respectively. For the diagnosis of presumed tubercular uveitis, multi-targeted PCR had a positive predictive value of 100% and a negative predictive value of 88.88%.Multi-targeted PCR can be a valuable tool for diagnosing presumed tubercular uveitis.
