This is a highly sensitive and rapid molecular test for diagnosing Tuberculosis (TB). The Real-Time PCR test detects the genetic material (DNA) of the TB bacteria from your sample (such as sputum). It is far faster and more sensitive than older, traditional methods, providing a reliable 'yes/no' answer in hours, not weeks. This allows your doctor to confirm a diagnosis and start your treatment plan without delay. For the most comprehensive diagnosis, we recommend our TB PCR with Rifampicin Resistance test, which not only provides a fast diagnosis but also checks for drug resistance at the same time.
