Description
The Gene expert (xpert MTB) is a state-of-the-art diagnostic test for tuberculosis. It uses real-time PCR technology to detect the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) DNA in sputum samples. This test not only identifies the presence of TB but also checks for resistance to rifampicin, a key anti-TB drug. Results are typically available within two hours, allowing for rapid diagnosis and initiation of appropriate treatment. The high sensitivity and specificity of this test make it particularly valuable in areas with high TB prevalence or in cases where quick results are critical.
