AFB-DNA (TB-PCR) Detection , Reflex to Rifampicin Resistance by Ultra CBNAAT (If – MTB Positive) – Sputum/BAL in Mumbai
Also known as: AFB DNA Detection by RT-PCR, Sputum/BAL
Overview
AFB-DNA (TB-PCR) detection using Real-Time PCR is a molecular testing method aimed at identifying the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) complex DNA in sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples. This test enables the accurate diagnosis of MTB infection, aiding in the early detection and management of tuberculosis (TB). Additionally, if the initial result is MTB-positive, further testing is conducted using the Ultra Cartridge-Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (CBNAAT) to determine rifampicin resistance. This approach allows for the rapid identification of drug-resistant TB strains. Moreover, the test can distinguish between MTB complex and non-tuberculosis bacteria (NTM or MOTT), contributing to the differentiation of TB from other respiratory infections. By providing precise diagnostic information, this testing strategy facilitates timely and appropriate medical interventions, enhancing patient care and public health efforts.
