Take Control of Your TB Treatment Journey
Living with tuberculosis can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re unsure if your treatment is working effectively. The Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST Cycloserine Test provides the clarity and confidence you need to ensure your medication is fighting the infection as intended. We understand the anxiety that comes with TB treatment, which is why we’ve made this essential monitoring test accessible and affordable across South Africa.
Understanding Your TB Drug Sensitivity Test
This specialised test examines how your tuberculosis bacteria respond to cycloserine, a key medication in TB treatment. Using advanced automated fluorescent technology, we determine whether your specific TB strain is sensitive or resistant to this important drug. Think of it as a personalised roadmap for your treatment – showing exactly which medications will work best for your unique situation.
Who Should Consider This Essential Test?
This test is particularly important if you:
- Are currently undergoing TB treatment with cycloserine
- Have experienced slow progress or persistent symptoms despite treatment
- Have a history of previous TB treatment failures
- Live in areas with high rates of drug-resistant TB
- Want peace of mind about your treatment effectiveness
- Have been diagnosed with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis
Early detection of drug resistance can prevent months of ineffective treatment and potential complications.
