About test
What does TB MDR SCREEN (LPA) measure?
This test screens for genetic markers associated with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) using a line probe assay (LPA). It may help identify resistance to key anti-tuberculosis medicines and support healthcare professionals in selecting further evaluation or treatment approaches. The test may be ordered when tuberculosis is suspected or confirmed and drug resistance needs assessment. Results should be interpreted along with clinical findings and other tuberculosis test results.
