The MTB - Xpert Combo Panel, Pulmonary is a comprehensive test that helps diagnose tuberculosis (TB). It checks for the presence of the TB bacteria and also looks for resistance to a key TB medicine called rifampicin. This test is widely available in Gautam Buddha Nagar with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price.

Your doctor may order the MTB - Xpert Combo Panel, Pulmonary if you have symptoms of TB, such as a long-lasting cough, fever, night sweats, or unexplained weight loss. It is a more accurate and faster option compared to older tests.

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 (mucopurulent) 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).

Understanding MTB - Xpert Combo Panel, Pulmonary

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infectious disease that most often affects the lungs. It is caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). A major challenge in treating TB is the rise of drug-resistant strains, which do not respond to standard medications.

The MTB - Xpert Combo Panel, Pulmonary uses advanced molecular technology to quickly find the genetic material of the TB bacteria in a sputum (phlegm) sample. A key feature of this panel is its ability to also detect if the bacteria are resistant to rifampicin, which is one of the most important and a first-line drug used to treat TB. This information is crucial for doctors to start the right treatment as soon as possible, helping to improve the patient’s chances of a full recovery and preventing the spread of drug-resistant TB.
