[0001] The present invention relates to a composition for diagnosing tuberculosis and a method for diagnosing tuberculosis based on changes in optical properties. Background technique
[0002] In general, tuberculosis is a disease with the highest incidence among notifiable infectious diseases in Korea, and is a disease caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment that can obtain reliable information from patients suspected of tuberculosis infection in a short period of time are more important than anything else.
[0003] The tuberculin skin test (TST) method is a routine method for diagnosing tuberculosis, but because of its low specificity, it has low reliability in diagnosing tuberculosis. However, it is still widely used due to its advantages of high sensitivity and low cost. The culture method is also widely used. As the most reliable detection method among various tuberculosis diagnostic methods, and as...
