Can Tuberculosis Be Diagnosed Within Hours? Discover the TB PCR (Xpert MTB/RIF) Test
Early diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) is essential for starting timely treatment and reducing the spread of infection. The TB PCR (Xpert MTB/RIF) test uses advanced molecular technology to rapidly detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA while simultaneously identifying rifampicin (RIF) resistance in a single test. This enables physicians to make faster, more informed treatment decisions.
