The “Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST Rapid 5 Drugs Panel Test” is a specialized diagnostic procedure designed to detect resistance against five key antitubercular drugs. This test is particularly valuable for patients diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB), as it aids in tailoring the most effective treatment regimen based on the sensitivity of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain to these medications. The panel typically includes drugs such as Isoniazid, Rifampicin, Ethambutol, Pyrazinamide, and Streptomycin, which are cornerstone treatments for TB.

Performed at DNA Labs UAE, a reputable facility known for its advanced diagnostic technologies and accuracy, the test involves culturing the bacteria from a patient’s sputum or other clinical samples. Once the bacteria are grown, they are exposed to the drugs included in the panel to assess their susceptibility or resistance. This process is crucial for identifying multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB), conditions that are more complex and challenging to treat.

The cost of the “Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST Rapid 5 Drugs Panel Test” at DNA Labs UAE is 1490 AED. While the price may seem high, the value of this test lies in its ability to significantly impact the treatment outcome by enabling healthcare providers to make informed decisions about the most effective and efficient therapy options for their patients.

Test Details

The Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST Rapid 5 Drugs Panel test is a diagnostic test used to determine the susceptibility of mycobacteria (specifically, the bacteria that cause tuberculosis) to certain drugs. The test is performed on a culture of the bacteria and helps healthcare providers choose the most effective treatment for the patient.

The test panel includes five drugs commonly used to treat tuberculosis: isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, streptomycin, and pyrazinamide. These drugs are tested to see if the bacteria are susceptible (meaning the drugs will effectively kill the bacteria) or resistant (meaning the drugs will not be effective).

By identifying the drug susceptibility of the bacteria, healthcare providers can tailor the treatment plan to ensure the most effective drugs are used. This helps in reducing the spread of drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis and improving patient outcomes.
