CULTURED AFB OTHER THAN TUBERCULOSIS (MOTT) DST FOR RAPID GROWERS
At DNA Labs India, we offer a specialized test known as Cultured AFB Other Than Tuberculosis (MOTT) DST for Rapid Growers. This test is designed to diagnose infections caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in patients who have symptoms similar to tuberculosis but do not respond to standard TB treatment.
What is NTM?
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a group of bacteria that are commonly found in soil, water, and dust. While they are similar to the bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB), they are not contagious and do not spread from person to person. In most cases, NTM do not cause any harm to people. However, in some cases, they can cause infections in people who have weakened immune systems or underlying lung diseases.
Symptoms of NTM infection
The symptoms of NTM infection are similar to those of tuberculosis and can include:
- Cough that lasts for more than three weeks
- Chest pain
- Breathlessness
- Fever and night sweats
- Weight loss
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms and have been diagnosed with TB, but have not responded to treatment, it is important to get tested for NTM infection.
Diagnosis of NTM infection
The diagnosis of NTM infection is done through a series of tests, including:
- Chest X-ray
- Sputum culture
- Cultured AFB Other Than Tuberculosis (MOTT) DST for Rapid Growers
