About test
What does TB PCR measure?
TB PCR is a molecular test that detects genetic material from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that can cause tuberculosis (TB). It may be used when TB is suspected based on symptoms, imaging findings, or exposure history, and may help support early identification of TB infection. Results are interpreted along with clinical findings and other laboratory or imaging tests.
