Overview

The AFB-Xpert panel by Combo (MTB/RIF Detection & AFB Culture) is a comprehensive diagnostic tool used for pulmonary samples to detect the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and assess rifampicin resistance. This panel combines the benefits of both molecular testing and culture methods. The MTB/RIF Detection aspect utilizes the Xpert assay to rapidly identify MTB DNA and simultaneously ascertain rifampicin resistance, a marker for multidrug-resistant TB. The AFB Culture component further enhances the diagnostic process by growing MTB in a controlled environment, allowing for subsequent drug susceptibility testing. This panel's clinical utility lies in its ability to provide timely and accurate information, enabling healthcare professionals to promptly diagnose MTB infection and assess rifampicin resistance, crucial for effective treatment planning and control of tuberculosis.

Frequently Asked Questions

This test detects the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) bacteria in pulmonary samples, and determines whether the bacteria are resistant to rifampicin.
This test is primarily done for the detection and diagnosis of tuberculosis. It is also used to identify rifampicin resistance, which helps guide the choice of effective medications. Additionally, this test aids in monitoring treatment response and assessing the risk of transmitting TB to others.
This test is recommended in the following situations: • If you have symptoms suggestive of tuberculosis, such as persistent cough, fever, night sweats, or weight loss. • If you have been exposed to someone with active TB. • If you have a positive tuberculin skin test or interferon-gamma release assay. • If you have a chest X-ray showing signs of TB. • If you have HIV/AIDS or other conditions that increase the risk of developing TB.
Abnormal results may suggest tuberculosis infection or drug resistance. However, further evaluation and discussion with your doctor are necessary to make a definitive diagnosis and determine appropriate treatment.
During this test, a healthcare professional will collect a sample of your pulmonary fluid using a sterile, leak-proof container.
To prepare for this test: • Ensure that the specimen type, site, clinical history, clinician number, patient number, and address for notification are properly mentioned on the Test Request Form. • Provide a 2ml pulmonary sample in a sterile, leak-proof container. • No specific dietary or medication restrictions are necessary. Please reach out to your healthcare provider for any specific requirements.
Other tests that may be ordered alongside the AFB-Xpert Panel by Combo (MTB/RIF Detection & AFB Culture) – Pulmonary Samples include: • Chest X-ray: To assess the extent of lung involvement. • Sputum Smear Microscopy: To detect acid-fast bacilli in sputum samples. • Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA): To detect latent TB infection. • Tuberculin Skin Test (TST): To evaluate exposure to TB.
MTB/RIF Detection & AFB Culture Panel for Pulmonary Samples
Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. It primarily affects the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body. TB spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for effective management.
