CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCULAR DST RAPID 16 DRUGS PANEL Test : Symptoms, Diagnosis and Cost
Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious bacterial infection that affects the lungs, but it can also affect other parts of the body. It spreads through the air when an infected person coughs, talks or sneezes. TB is curable, but it needs to be diagnosed and treated properly. One of the tests used to diagnose TB is the Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST Rapid 16 Drugs Panel Test. In this blog, we will discuss the symptoms, diagnosis and cost of this test.
Symptoms of TB
The symptoms of TB can vary depending on the part of the body that is affected. The most common symptoms of TB are:
- Coughing that lasts three or more weeks
- Chest pain
- Coughing up blood
- Fever
- Night sweats
- Weight loss
- Fatigue
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible. TB can be treated with antibiotics, but it needs to be diagnosed early to prevent it from spreading to others.
Diagnosis of TB
There are several tests that can be used to diagnose TB. The most common tests are:

The Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST Rapid 16 Drugs Panel Test is a more advanced test that is used to diagnose drug-resistant TB.

The lab technicians will then test the bacteria to see which drugs will work best to treat the infection. This test is more accurate than other tests and can help doctors choose the most effective antibiotics for treatment.

The cost of the Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST Rapid 16 Drugs Panel Test in India is around INR 25,000. This may vary depending on the location and the lab that is conducting the test. It is important to note that this test is not covered by all health insurance plans, so it is important to check with your insurance provider before getting the test done.
