The AFB DNA Detection by RT-PCR, Sputum test is a molecular diagnostic test that detects the genetic material (DNA) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), the bacteria responsible for tuberculosis (TB), and may also detect MOTT (Mycobacteria Other Than Tuberculosis) or non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). It is commonly used for the early diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis and other mycobacterial lung infections. It is widely available in Bangalore with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price.

Collect sputum in a sterile, leak-proof container with a screw-cap lid. Before collecting the sample, rinse your mouth with clean water. Take two to three deep breaths, then cough deeply to bring up sputum from the lungs. Ensure you collect at least 2 ml of thick, yellowish (muco-purulent) sputum. Avoid collecting only saliva or nasal secretions. As per National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP) guidelines, testing requires two sputum samples. This may include a spot and early morning sample collected on consecutive days or two spot samples collected one hour apart for accurate diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB).

What does AFB DNA Detection by RT-PCR, Sputum measure?

Contains 2 tests

The AFB DNA Detection by RT-PCR, Sputum test measures the presence of genetic material (DNA) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), the group of bacteria that causes tuberculosis (TB). This test also helps identify MOTT (Mycobacteria Other Than Tuberculosis), which may cause opportunistic infections, especially in people with low immunity. By using RT-PCR technology, this test detects specific DNA sequences of these bacteria in the sputum sample. It helps distinguish MTBC and MOTT to find the bacteria causing the infection. The test helps clinicians rapidly identify the type of infection and initiate suitable treatment. However, results should always be interpreted along with clinical findings, imaging studies, and other laboratory tests.
