| 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. |
