India has vast number of CBNAAT laboratories which are utilized for TB/RR-TB detection and Universal Drug Susceptibility Testing (UDST) under the National TB Elimination Program (NTEP).
CBNAAT provides a promising role in early diagnosis of TB in head and neck. Its high sensitivity and less time taking procedure makes it an excellent tool for timely diagnosis of such cases.
Diagnosis of Tuberculosis: The CBNAAT test is used as a rapid molecular diagnostic test for detecting tuberculosis infections. It analyses the DNA of the TB bacteria in sputum samples to accurately diagnose TB.
The cost of tuberculosis detection by CBNAAT varies depending on facility, the kind of CBNAAT machine and the number of repetitions of test required for diagnosis.
What is a CBNAAT Test? The CBNAAT test is a highly advanced diagnostic tool used primarily to detect tuberculosis (TB). It is a rapid, automated test that identifies the genetic material (DNA) of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, which causes TB.
CBNAAT has now became one of the most important diagnostic technique for tuberculosis. CBNAAT basically uses detection of nucleic acid; which can even detect in almost any sample except serum and bony tissue.
The document discusses CBNAAT (Xpert MTB/RIF), a qualitative PCR test that detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex DNA and rifampin resistance mutations. It can aid in TB diagnosis when used with clinical findings. The test is intended for use on untreated or short-term treated patients.
Xpert-MTB/RIF assay or Cartridge-Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (CBNAAT) helps in rapid diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). Methods. Specific samples were collected and carried to Regional Medical Research Centre where these were taken up for CBNAAT and culture in Lowenstein-Jensen media.
