Correlation Between Pleural Fluid GenXpert® and Histopathology Finding of Pleural Biopsy in Tuberculous Pleural Effusion
Abstract
Methods: This study used an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional design conducted in Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya in March-June 2017. Statistic analysis was using chi square test and contingensi coofisient. The pleural GenXpert® was tested in 23 patients with pleural effusion and their biopsy speciments underwent histopathological analysis.
Results: Histopathological findings of pleural biopsy was positive in 4 subjects and pleural fluid GenXpert® resulted positive in 6 subjects. There was significant correlation between pleural fluid GenXpert® and histopathological findings of specimen pleural biopsy in patients with pleural tuberculosis (P=0.040) with moderate strenght (P=0.014). Sensitivity and specificity of pleural fluid GenXpert® were 75.0% dan 84.2% respectively.
Conclusions: There was significant correlation between pleural fluid GenXpert® and histopathological findings of pleural biopsy in patients with pleural tuberculosis. (J Respir Indo 2018; 38(1): 1-6)
