摘要: Sputum transportation from county-level to prefecture-level is an ideal strategy to cover the shortage of the laboratory capability in the resource-poor setting.Here,we firstly evaluated the feasibility of sputum transportation system in China by analyzing the culture and molecular diagnosis results from 1982 smear-positive patients with different delay in processing for culture.In this study,the total contamination rate was 2.32% and the total smear positive/culture negative (S+/C-) rate was 7.57%.We found that sputum specimens refrigerated for no more than 7 d before mycobacterial detection did not affect culture significantly.In addition,the invalid result rates among 0-3 d,3-7 d,and 7+ d group were 3.63%,3.14%,and 12.48%,respectively.Statistic analysis revealed that molecular diagnostic results while the invalid result rate of genechip for the specimen with more than 7 d delay was significantly higher (P<0.001).The refrigerators equipped in county laboratories,transport at low temperature and frequent transport services once a week will ensure the feasibility of sputum transportation system in China.
