₹1,800.00
Mycobacterium Complex – PCR (Synovial Fluid) Test – Short Description:
The Mycobacterium Complex PCR (Synovial Fluid) test detects the DNA of *Mycobacterium* species, including *Mycobacterium tuberculosis* and non-tuberculous mycobacteria, in synovial fluid obtained from joints. This test is used to diagnose mycobacterial infections of the joints, such as tuberculosis arthritis, in patients with symptoms like joint pain, swelling, and limited mobility. PCR offers a highly sensitive and rapid method to identify mycobacterial DNA, particularly when conventional cultures are slow or negative, aiding in the early detection and appropriate treatment of these potentially serious infections.
