The GeneXpert MTB/RIF Test (Pulmonary Specimen) is a highly sensitive and specific molecular diagnostic tool designed to detect tuberculosis-causing bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) and resistance to the first-line drug Rifampicin. This version of the test is conducted on pulmonary specimens, such as sputum, making it crucial for diagnosing lung TB cases.

Why is the Test Done?

This test is recommended when a patient shows symptoms of pulmonary TB, such as:

  • Persistent cough (lasting more than 2 weeks)

  • Unexplained weight loss

  • Night sweats and fever

  • Coughing up blood

It not only confirms TB but also determines if the bacteria are resistant to Rifampicin — guiding effective treatment early on.

Who Should Get This GeneXpert MTB/RIF Test (Pulmonary Specimen)?

  • Patients with suspected pulmonary tuberculosis

  • Individuals in contact with TB-positive cases

  • People living in high TB-burden areas

  • Patients showing poor response to standard TB therapy

  • Immunocompromised individuals (e.g., HIV patients)

Test Procedure & Preparation

  • Sample Required: A sputum sample is typically collected.

  • Preparation: No fasting or special preparation is needed. However, the sample must be collected in a sterile container and delivered promptly to the lab.

  • Turnaround Time: Results are usually available within 2–6 hours.

Understanding the Results

  • Positive MTB Detected: TB bacteria are present.

  • RIF Resistance Detected: Indicates multidrug-resistant TB.

  • Negative Result: TB is not detected, but other diagnostic steps may be required.

Always consult with your physician for interpretation and next steps, especially if drug resistance is identified.
