    What is a AFB-DNA (TB-PCR) Detection by Real Time PCR , Reflex to Rifampicin resistance by Ultra CBNAAT (If - MTB Positive) - Urine Test?

    The AFB-DNA (TB-PCR) test is used to detect tuberculosis (TB) in urine samples. TB is an infection caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), which can affect the lungs and other body parts. This test looks for MTB DNA in urine, making it easier for patients who can't provide sputum samples, such as children or those with other health issues.

    The test uses a method called real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to quickly find the bacteria's genetic material. If the test shows a positive result for MTB, it automatically checks if the bacteria are resistant to rifampicin, an important TB medicine, using a follow-up analysis called Ultra CBNAAT. This information helps doctors decide the best treatment.

    The AFB-DNA (TB-PCR) test is valuable in areas with high TB rates and helps ensure patients get the right care quickly. If you’re in Bangalore and think you might have TB, consider getting this test for early detection and treatment.
