Method: Fluorescent & conventional microscopic examination, Automated fluorescent ICT, Malditof, Real-time nested PCR & Melt peak detection, EIA
Comment: This panel provides simultaneous detection of tuberculosis in the site-specific samples as well as in blood in a single sample setting.
Report: Contact us to know the TAT.
Usage: TB final diagnosis allows detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex from a site-specific sample and measures cell-mediated immunity in blood to differentiate between active and tuberculosis infection in a single setting. All the tests work in complementing each other thus improving the overall sensitivity in the detection of Tuberculosis.
