Abstract
SUMMARY We described a diagnostic procedure of two cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in elderly people. The paper presents the diagnostic difficulty caused by the lack of obtaining an adequate amount of material and low sensitivity and specificity of the conventional techniques. The probe Tec ET test was used with conventional microbiology and histology helps in diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis by improving specificity, sensitivity. Probe Tec ET test takes a few hours. Hasła indeksowa- gruźlica pozapłucna, skrofuloza, sonda genetyczna
