It enables precise identification of NTM infections, helping clinicians distinguish them from TB and select the most appropriate treatment.
Who should undergo this test?
Patients with positive AFB cultures that require species-level differentiation to guide targeted therapy should undergo this test.
How is the test performed?
DNA is extracted from a pure culture isolate and analyzed using the Hain LPA at Metropolis Healthcare to determine the specific NTM species.
What do the results indicate?
Results indicate the exact species of non-tuberculous mycobacteria present in the culture, allowing accurate diagnosis and informed treatment planning.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The test is safe, as it is performed on laboratory culture samples and does not pose any risk to the patient.
Why choose Metropolis Healthcare for this test?
Metropolis Healthcare provides rapid, accurate, and reliable molecular identification of NTM species using advanced Hain LPA technology and expert laboratory interpretation for effective clinical management.
