%X Attempts were made to improve the efficacy of PCR amplified immunoassay (I-PCR) for diagnosing abdominal TB cases by utilizing the gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-based I-PCR, where AuNPs were functionalized with detection antibodies/oligonucleotides that exhibited 84.3% sensitivity and 95.1% specificity. This assay would improve the ongoing algorithms used in abdominal TB diagnosis.
