₹1,800.00
Mycobacterium Complex – PCR (Pleural Fluid) Test – Short Description:
The Mycobacterium Complex PCR (Pleural Fluid) test detects the DNA of *Mycobacterium* species, including *Mycobacterium tuberculosis* and non-tuberculous mycobacteria, in a sample of pleural fluid obtained from the lining around the lungs. This test is used to diagnose pleural infections, such as tuberculous pleuritis, in patients with pleuritic chest pain, dyspnea, or other symptoms suggestive of pleural disease. PCR is a sensitive and rapid method for identifying mycobacterial infections, enabling quick diagnosis and appropriate treatment, particularly in cases where traditional culture methods may be slower or less effective.
