Frequently Asked Questions
The Mycobacterial Identification Test identifies different species of Mycobacteria present in your sample.
• To diagnose tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections • To determine the species of Mycobacteria causing the infection • To assess drug resistance patterns • To monitor treatment progress and effectiveness • To prevent further transmission of the disease
The Mycobacterial Identification Test is recommended when you • have symptoms suggestive of tuberculosis or mycobacterial infections, such as persistent cough, fever, weight loss, and night sweats, • are at high risk of tuberculosis due to close contact with an infected individual, or • have a positive result on preliminary tests for mycobacterial infections.
Abnormal results from the Mycobacterial Identification Test may indicate • active tuberculosis infection caused by specific species of Mycobacteria, • drug resistance, which may require alternative medication options, or • need for further diagnostic tests.
During the test, a sample of pure growth of Mycobacteria will be collected from your sputum, tissue, or other relevant sources. The sample will be sent to the laboratory, where a technique called MALDI TOF (Vitek MS) will be used for analysis.
• Follow any additional instructions provided by your doctor or the laboratory regarding fasting or discontinuing specific medications. • Inform your doctor if you have any specific requirements.
• Acid-Fast Bacillus (AFB) smear: This microscopic examination detects acid-fast bacteria in a patient's sample and is often used as an initial screening test for tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections. • Gene Xpert MTB/RIF: This molecular test detects the presence of tuberculosis bacteria and determines resistance to rifampicin, an important anti-tuberculosis drug.
