Comprehensive TB Detection When You Need Answers Most
We understand the worry that comes with persistent symptoms like cough, fever, or unexplained weight loss. The uncertainty can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Our Mycobacterium Combined Panel TB.COM Test provides the clarity and confidence you need to take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your TB.COM Test
This comprehensive panel combines three advanced diagnostic methods to give you the most accurate tuberculosis detection available. We use Real Time PCR technology to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA, automated fluorescent culture for rapid AFB identification, and traditional Ziehl Neelson staining – providing multiple layers of confirmation for your peace of mind.
The test is designed to be thorough yet straightforward, requiring no special preparation from you. Our medical team handles the technical complexity, so you can focus on what matters most: your health and recovery.
