₹1,800.00
Mycobacterium Complex – PCR (CSF) Test – Short Description:
The Mycobacterium Complex PCR (Cerebrospinal Fluid – CSF) test detects the DNA of *Mycobacterium* species, such as *Mycobacterium tuberculosis* and non-tuberculous mycobacteria, in cerebrospinal fluid. This test is primarily used to diagnose central nervous system infections, such as tuberculosis meningitis, in patients with neurological symptoms. PCR offers a rapid and highly sensitive method to identify mycobacterial infections, particularly when conventional culture methods may be slow or inconclusive, aiding in timely diagnosis and treatment of potentially life-threatening conditions.
