MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS DNA PCR – QUALITATIVE

Mycobacterium Tuberculosis DNA PCR – Qualitative Test – Short Description:

The Mycobacterium Tuberculosis DNA PCR – Qualitative test detects the genetic material (DNA) of *Mycobacterium tuberculosis*, the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), in a patient’s sample (such as sputum, blood, or other bodily fluids). This test provides a qualitative result, indicating whether the DNA of the bacterium is present or not, confirming the presence of an active TB infection. PCR is highly sensitive and can detect even small amounts of bacterial DNA, making it useful for diagnosing TB in cases where traditional diagnostic methods may be slow or less effective. This test is important for early detection and prompt treatment of TB, including cases of pulmonary and extrapulmonary TB.
