TB Report

Kishore K, a 28-year old male, tested positive for active pulmonary tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis based on several diagnostic tests. Culture of a sputum sample showed growth of M. tuberculosis bacteria. Microscopic examination found acid-fast bacilli consistent with M. tuberculosis. Chest X-ray showed infiltrates, cavities, and lymphadenopathy in the lungs. A GeneXpert test confirmed the presence of TB bacteria and its susceptibility to the drug rifampicin. The patient is responding well to anti-TB treatment including rifampicin and will have follow up to confirm a permanent cure.

4. GeneXpert MTB/RIF Assay POSITIVE
Comment: Molecular analysis confirmed the presence of TB bacteria and determined susceptibility to rifampicin
Positive:Indicates the presence of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID 19)in the given specimen
Negative:Indicates the absence of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID 19)in the given specimen

co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease.
