The Light Emission Diode Fluorescent Microscopy (LED FM) has the same specificity but increased sensitivity as compared to Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) microscopy.
Reliability of LED FM in comparison with culture.
| VERSUS CULTURE | |
|---|---|
| Sensitivity (95% CI) | Specificity (95% CI) |
|
84% (76 - 89%) |
98% (85 - 97%) |
The LED microscopy was more sensitive compared with ZN microscopy
| VERSUS ZN MICROSCOPY | |
|---|---|
| Difference in Sensitivity (95% CI) | Difference in Specificity (95% CI) |
|
+6% (+0.1 - +13%) |
0% (0 - 0%) |
