TB PCR Qualitative Test

The TB PCR Qualitative Test is a diagnostic test offered by healthcare nt sickcare Medical Laboratory to detect the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) in a person's respiratory samples. TB is a serious bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body. This test is used to diagnose TB in its early stages, before symptoms appear, and to monitor the effectiveness of TB treatment.

The test is a simple and non-invasive procedure that involves collecting a respiratory sample, such as sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and analysing it in our laboratory. The TB PCR Qualitative Test uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to detect the presence of TB DNA in the respiratory sample.

The TB PCR Qualitative Test is a highly sensitive test that can detect even small amounts of TB DNA in a respiratory sample. It is particularly useful in diagnosing TB in its early stages, before symptoms appear, and in cases where other TB tests, such as the sputum smear test or culture test, may be negative.

In addition to diagnosing TB, the TB PCR Qualitative Test is also used to monitor the effectiveness of TB treatment. The test can detect the presence of TB DNA in a respiratory sample even if the bacteria are no longer alive, indicating that the treatment is not completely effective.

If you have been exposed to TB or have symptoms of TB, such as coughing, fever, and weight loss, it is important to get tested. Our TB PCR Qualitative Test can provide you with important information about the presence of TB in your respiratory samples and help diagnose TB in its early stages.
