Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):
What is included in the Thyrocare TB XDR Screen (LPA) Test?
The Thyrocare TB XDR Screen (LPA) Test identifies extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) by detecting resistance to second-line anti-TB drugs, including fluoroquinolones and injectable agents, using Line Probe Assay (LPA) technology. This molecular test is crucial for guiding treatment in patients with suspected drug-resistant TB. The analysis is conducted using advanced WHO-endorsed methods at Thyrocare’s NABL- and ISO-certified laboratories.
