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. ENT
ENT specialists treat a wide range of conditions related to the ears, nose, throat, head, and neck, including sinusitis, hearing loss, throat infections, and more.
Common symptoms include persistent ear pain, hearing loss, sinus pain, frequent sore throats, hoarseness, and dizziness.
Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses, often treated with medications, nasal sprays, or in severe cases, surgery.
Hearing loss is diagnosed through hearing tests and treated with hearing aids, medications, or surgical interventions, depending on the cause.
During an ENT consultation, expect a thorough examination, discussion of symptoms, and potential diagnostic tests.
3. SPUTUM GENEXPERT
The Sputum GeneXpert test is a molecular diagnostic test that detects tuberculosis (TB) DNA and drug-resistant strains in sputum samples.
Unlike traditional TB tests, the GeneXpert test provides faster results and can detect drug-resistant strains of TB by analyzing genetic material.
No special preparation is required. Provide a sputum sample, ideally collected in the morning, and follow any specific instructions from your healthcare provider.
Results are usually available within 1 to 2 days after the sample is processed, providing a rapid diagnosis.
The test offers accurate and quick detection of TB and drug-resistant strains, which is crucial for effective treatment and control of TB infections.
