We were also unable to obtain a second PF sample in 11% of patients with TPE who had a first FluoroType MTB® determination which was negative. Likewise, a microscopic examination and auramine staining of PF specimens (the only test that can be compared to the PCR due to the quick obtaining of results) were not performed due to the low sensitivity this technique showed in a previous study in our center (3% of positive results in a series of 274 PF samples).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> Lastly, unlike other PCR techniques on the market, an inherent limitation of the FluoroType MTB® test is that it does not detect resistance to antituberculosis drugs.</p></span><span id="sec0065" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0125">Conclusions</span><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The FluoroType MTB® technique applied to PF has a limited capacity for diagnosis tuberculosis and its specificity is not absolute.
