The “Culture AFB Mycobacterium Rapid with PNB Test” is a specialized diagnostic procedure designed to detect and identify mycobacterial infections, including tuberculosis, rapidly. This test is particularly significant in clinical settings for the prompt diagnosis and treatment of mycobacterial infections. The process involves the culture of a sample (often sputum) to isolate and identify mycobacteria. The incorporation of p-Nitrobenzoic Acid (PNB) enhances the test’s specificity by inhibiting the growth of non-tuberculous mycobacteria, thus allowing for the rapid identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.

Performed at DNA Labs UAE, a facility known for its advanced diagnostic technologies and reliable testing services, the test ensures high accuracy and quick turnaround times. The cost of the test is set at 330 AED, making it accessible for patients requiring immediate and precise diagnosis of tuberculosis or other mycobacterial infections. DNA Labs UAE is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and experienced professionals to conduct this test, ensuring quality healthcare support for timely and effective treatment decisions.

CULTURE AFB MYCOBACTERIUM RAPID WITH PNB Test

Test Cost: AED 330.0

Introduction

The Culture AFB (Mycobacterium) Rapid with PNB Test is a laboratory test used to identify the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) in a patient’s sample. MTBC is a group of bacteria that includes the bacteria responsible for causing tuberculosis (TB).

Test Components

This test does not include ANTI-TUBERCULAR DRUG SENSITIVITY.

Price

The cost of this test is AED 330.0.

Test Details

The Culture AFB (Mycobacterium) Rapid with PNB Test is a laboratory test used to identify the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) in a patient’s sample. MTBC is a group of bacteria that includes the bacteria responsible for causing tuberculosis (TB). The test involves obtaining a sample, such as sputum or tissue, from the patient suspected of having TB. The sample is then cultured in a specialized medium that promotes the growth of mycobacteria. The culture is incubated for several weeks to allow the bacteria to grow. After incubation, the culture is examined for the presence of acid-fast bacilli (AFB), which are characteristic of mycobacteria. AFB stain is performed to visualize the bacteria under a microscope. If AFB are observed, it indicates the presence of mycobacteria. In addition to the AFB stain, the PNB (para-nitrobenzoic acid) test is performed to differentiate between different species of mycobacteria. This test determines the ability of the bacteria to metabolize PNB. MTBC, including M. tuberculosis, is PNB-resistant, while other non-tuberculous mycobacteria are PNB-sensitive. By combining the AFB stain with the PNB test, the laboratory can identify whether the mycobacteria present in the patient’s sample belong to the MTBC or are non-tuberculous mycobacteria. This information is crucial for the appropriate diagnosis and treatment of TB. It is important to note that this test is performed in a laboratory setting and requires specialized equipment and expertise. The results of the test are interpreted by trained laboratory professionals, and the final diagnosis is made by a healthcare provider based on the clinical presentation and other diagnostic tests.
