The TB CHECK – Pulmonary test is a comprehensive diagnostic panel designed to detect pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and support effective treatment planning. This panel combines three advanced laboratory methods—AFB Culture by MGIT, Genexpert by Nested PCR, and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)—to accurately identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis and evaluate genetic markers associated with drug resistance. By integrating rapid molecular testing with culture confirmation, the panel provides reliable results for timely diagnosis and clinical decision-making.
The TB CHECK – Pulmonary panel includes three essential tests: AFB Culture, Genexpert, and NextGen TB (NGS). It is recommended for individuals with suspected pulmonary tuberculosis, recurrent TB, or patients requiring evaluation before or during anti-tuberculosis treatment. This panel helps confirm the diagnosis, detect drug-resistant strains, monitor treatment strategies, and guide clinicians in selecting the most appropriate therapy. Test results should always be interpreted in conjunction with clinical evaluation, imaging findings, and other laboratory investigations for accurate diagnosis and optimal patient care.

- Identify genetic markers associated with drug-resistant TB.
- Support treatment planning and monitoring.
- Enable early and reliable TB diagnosis.
Symptoms:
- Persistent cough lasting more than 2–3 weeks.
- Fever and night sweats.
- Unexplained weight loss.
- Chest pain or coughing up blood.

Instructions:
- Provide the prescribed specimen in a sterile, leak-proof container.
- For sputum samples, collect an early morning deep cough specimen whenever possible.
- Rinse your mouth with plain water before collecting sputum. Do not use mouthwash.
- Avoid contaminating the sample with saliva; collect deep sputum from the lungs.
- Inform the laboratory about any ongoing anti-tuberculosis treatment or recent antibiotic use.
- Ensure the specimen type, collection site, and relevant clinical history are mentioned on the test request form (TRF).
- Transport the sample to the laboratory as soon as possible. If there is a delay, store it at 2–8°C as instructed by the laboratory.
