Overview
The "AFB-DNA (TB-PCR) Detection by Real Time PCR – Urine" test is used to diagnose infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB Complex) or Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM or MOTT) in urine samples. The initial AFB-DNA (TB-PCR) Detection by Real Time PCR identifies the presence of Mycobacterial DNA in the urine sample, enabling healthcare professionals to detect MTB Complex or NTM/MOTT infections. If the result is MTB positive, the reflex test of Rifampicin resistance by Ultra CBNAAT is performed to determine if the MTB strain is resistant to Rifampicin, an important drug used in TB treatment. This comprehensive diagnostic approach allows for rapid and accurate detection of Mycobacterial infections in urine specimens, facilitating prompt and appropriate treatment decisions. Early diagnosis through this test is essential for initiating timely and targeted therapy, preventing complications associated with these infections, and ensuring the best possible care for the patient's overall health and well-being, particularly for urinary tract infections caused by Mycobacteria.

Frequently Asked Questions
This test detects the DNA of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria or non-tuberculous bacteria in the urine. If the result is MTB positive, the reflex test of Rifampicin resistance by Ultra CBNAAT is performed to determine if the MTB strain is resistant to Rifampicin, an important drug used in TB treatment.
• To diagnose infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB Complex) • To rule out other non-tuberculous bacterial infections • To guide appropriate treatment and prevent the spread of TB • To identify rifampicin resistance in case of MTB-positive results
This test is recommended if you • Have symptoms suggestive of tuberculosis. • Have been exposed to someone with active TB. • Are at high risk for TB due to certain medical conditions or immunosuppression. Your doctor may also order this test to monitor the effectiveness of TB treatment.
Abnormal results may indicate a TB infection caused by MTB Complex or non-tuberculous bacteria. Further tests may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
During this test, you will provide a 15ml spot urine sample in a sterile container. The process does not involve any specific preparation or discomfort.
Before the test: • Make sure to provide a properly labeled urine sample with relevant clinical history and clinician number. • No dietary restrictions or other preparations are necessary. • Follow any instructions given by your doctor regarding medications and potential interference with the test results. Please reach out to your healthcare provider for any specific requirements.
Other tests that may be ordered alongside this test include: • Sputum AFB smear and culture: To further confirm TB infection • Chest X-ray or CT scan: To assess lung involvement in TB • Drug susceptibility testing: To determine appropriate antibiotic treatment, especially for rifampicin resistance
Urine TB PCR, Urine Mycobacterium Tuberculosis DNA Detection
Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It primarily affects the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body. TB is transmitted through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for effective management of TB.
