Mycobacterium Complex – PCR (Peripheral Blood) Test – Short Description:

The Mycobacterium Complex PCR (Peripheral Blood) test detects the genetic material (DNA) of *Mycobacterium* species, such as *Mycobacterium tuberculosis* and other non-tuberculous mycobacteria, in a peripheral blood sample. This test is used to diagnose infections caused by mycobacteria, particularly when conventional cultures are difficult or slow to yield results. PCR is a highly sensitive method that can identify active or latent infections, aiding in the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases like tuberculosis (TB) and mycobacterial infections in immunocompromised individuals.
