Pulmonary Test Overview
Tuberculosis is a chronic respiratory tract infection causing fever, cough and weight loss. It is commonly caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb). Many diagnostic techniques are available for diagnosis of tuberculosis which include staining, culture and nucleic acid detection. Among nucleic acid detection techniques are:
- polymerase chain reaction (PCR),
- Cartridge based nucleic acid amplification technique (CBNAAT)
- Line probe assay (LPA)
- Next generation sequencing (NGS).
With increase in drug resistance in tuberculosis patient many patients would require testing of second line drugs.
LPA is based on DNA strip technology.
In addition to detection of M.tb it can detect resistance to quinolone and aminoglycoside group of antibiotics
