Test Details:
Mycobacterium tuberculosis qualitative PCR is a laboratory test used to detect the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA in a patient’s sample. It is a highly sensitive and specific method for diagnosing tuberculosis (TB) infection.
The test involves extracting the DNA from the patient’s sample, which can be sputum, blood, or tissue. The extracted DNA is then amplified using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. This technique uses specific primers that target and amplify the DNA sequence unique to Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
If the Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA is present in the patient’s sample, the PCR amplification will produce a positive result, indicating an active TB infection. On the other hand, a negative result suggests the absence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA in the sample.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis qualitative PCR is a rapid and accurate diagnostic tool for TB, as it can detect low levels of the bacteria in the early stages of infection. It is particularly useful in cases where conventional diagnostic methods, such as sputum smear microscopy or culture, yield negative results.
This test is commonly used in high-burden TB countries, where the prevalence of TB is high. It helps in early detection and timely initiation of treatment, which is crucial for preventing the spread of the disease and reducing morbidity and mortality associated with TB.
