Test Details
The TB LAMP (Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification) Qualitative DNA PCR Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex DNA in a patient’s sample. The test is based on the principle of isothermal amplification, which allows for the rapid amplification of target DNA without the need for complex and time-consuming thermal cycling. It specifically targets a conserved region of the M. tuberculosis complex genome, ensuring accurate detection of the bacteria. The test is qualitative, meaning it can determine the presence or absence of M. tuberculosis complex DNA in a sample, but it does not provide quantitative information such as the bacterial load. It is primarily used as an initial screening tool for tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis, especially in resource-limited settings where access to more advanced molecular techniques like PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) may be limited. The TB LAMP test is highly sensitive and specific, with a turnaround time of around 1-2 hours. It is performed on various clinical samples such as sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, and tissue biopsies. The test can aid in the early detection of TB, allowing for prompt initiation of treatment and reducing the risk of transmission to others.
