Frequently Asked Questions

What does this test measure?

This test measures the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and assesses resistance to rifampicin, which is vital for determining the most effective treatment options.

Who should take this test?

Individuals who show symptoms of tuberculosis, such as persistent cough, fever, or weight loss, or those who have been in contact with someone diagnosed with TB should consider this test.

How do I prepare for this test?

Preparation involves collecting a 2ml sample in a sterile container from the specified specimen type, ensuring it is done under sterile conditions. No fasting is required prior to the test.

What do the results mean?

Results indicate whether Mycobacterium tuberculosis is present and if there is resistance to rifampicin. Abnormal results may suggest active tuberculosis or the need for alternative treatment strategies.

How long until I get my results?

Results are typically available within 5 to 7 days. They will be communicated to you through your healthcare provider.
