1. SPUTUM C/S
The Sputum C/S Test identifies microorganisms causing respiratory infections and determines their sensitivity to antibiotics.
A sputum sample is collected by coughing up mucus from the lungs, usually in the morning for the best results.
No special preparation is needed, but it is important to follow hygiene practices and inform your healthcare provider of any recent treatments.
Results are generally available within 3 to 5 days, depending on the growth rate of the microorganisms and the complexity of the infection.
Discuss the results with your healthcare provider to determine alternative treatment options based on the sensitivity profile of the identified microorganisms.
2. TB GOLD
The TB GOLD Test is an advanced diagnostic tool that uses an interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) to detect latent tuberculosis infection.
Unlike the tuberculin skin test (TST), the TB GOLD Test does not require a return visit for reading and provides more accurate results by measuring the immune response to TB-specific antigens.
No special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test, but inform your healthcare provider about any medications or recent illnesses.
Results are typically available within 2 to 7 days after the sample is analyzed in the laboratory.
The TB GOLD Test helps accurately diagnose latent TB infection, which is crucial for preventing the progression to active TB and ensuring appropriate treatment and management.
3. XRay
An X-Ray is a diagnostic imaging test that uses electromagnetic radiation to create images of the inside of the body. It helps in diagnosing fractures, infections, and other abnormalities.
Preparation depends on the type of X-Ray. Generally, you may need to remove clothing or metal objects from the area being imaged. Follow specific instructions given by your healthcare provider.
The X-Ray procedure is usually quick, taking only a few minutes. The actual imaging process typically lasts less than 15 minutes.
Results are not usually provided immediately. A radiologist will review the images and send a report to your healthcare provider, which may take a few days.
Yes, most medications can be continued as usual. However, inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking, especially if you are pregnant.
