TB Final Diagnosis Test
Introduction
The TB Final Diagnosis Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to confirm the presence of tuberculosis (TB), a highly infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Early detection is critical, as TB can lead to severe health complications if left untreated. This test is designed to provide accurate and timely results, facilitating prompt medical intervention.
What the Test Measures
This test measures the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in various sample types, including blood, sputum, and other bodily fluids. It utilizes advanced methodologies such as AFB stain, culture AFB, and molecular techniques like Genexpert Ultra to ensure precise detection of TB.
