Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Qualitative PCR Cost and Symptoms Diagnosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. It primarily affects the lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body such as the brain, kidneys and spine. TB is a major public health problem in India, with approximately 2.8 million cases reported every year.
Early diagnosis and treatment of TB is crucial for effective management of the disease. One of the diagnostic tests for TB is Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Qualitative PCR.
What is Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Qualitative PCR?
Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Qualitative PCR is a molecular diagnostic test that detects the presence of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis DNA in a patient’s sample. It is a highly sensitive and specific test that can detect even small amounts of the bacteria in the sample.
How is the test done?
The test requires a sample of the patient’s sputum or other body fluids such as cerebrospinal fluid or pleural fluid. The sample is collected and sent to the laboratory for analysis. The DNA is extracted from the sample and amplified using PCR. The amplified DNA is then detected using a fluorescent probe, which indicates the presence of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis DNA.
What are the symptoms of TB?
The symptoms of TB vary depending on which part of the body is affected. The most common symptoms of pulmonary TB (TB of the lungs) include:
- Cough that lasts for more than two weeks
- Chest pain
- Coughing up blood
- Fever
- Night sweats
- Weight loss
- Fatigue
Other symptoms may include difficulty breathing, loss of appetite, and swollen lymph nodes.
How is TB diagnosed?
Aside from Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Qualitative PCR, there are other diagnostic tests for TB such as chest X-ray, sputum smear microscopy, and culture. If you experience any of the symptoms mentioned above, it is important to consult a healthcare professional who can perform the necessary tests to diagnose TB.
