What is Pus for GeneXpert(MTB)?
The GeneXpert MTB test is a rapid molecular diagnostic test for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and rifampicin resistance. It involves collecting a sputum sample, which is processed in a cartridge that automatically detects MTB DNA.
Preparation usually requires patients to cough up sputum, often after a deep inhalation. The test is quick, taking about two hours.
Risks are minimal, mostly related to sample collection. Results are either positive (indicating active TB) or negative.
Rifampicin resistance results guide treatment. Conditions like insufficient sputum or poor sample collection can affect accuracy.
Results help guide TB diagnosis and treatment decisions.
What to expect & how to prepare
