The Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST Capreomycin Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure that determines the sensitivity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to Capreomycin, a second-line antituberculosis medication. This test is crucial for patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis who require alternative treatment options when first-line drugs prove ineffective. By analyzing cultured AFB samples, the test provides essential information about bacterial susceptibility to Capreomycin, enabling healthcare providers to develop targeted treatment strategies. The test costs $100 USD and is particularly valuable for individuals showing poor response to standard TB therapy or those diagnosed with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis strains. Results help prevent treatment failures and reduce the risk of developing extensively drug-resistant TB.

Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST Capreomycin Test

Comprehensive Tuberculosis Drug Sensitivity Testing

The Cultured AFB Antitubercular DST Capreomycin Test represents a critical advancement in tuberculosis management, specifically designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Capreomycin against Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. This sophisticated diagnostic tool plays a vital role in combating drug-resistant tuberculosis, which has become an increasingly significant global health concern.

What This Test Measures and Detects

This specialized test precisely measures the sensitivity of cultured Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex organisms to Capreomycin, a second-line injectable antituberculosis drug. The test detects:

  • Bacterial susceptibility or resistance to Capreomycin
  • Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for treatment guidance
  • Patterns of drug resistance in tuberculosis strains
  • Effectiveness of Capreomycin as part of combination therapy

Who Should Consider This Test

This test is essential for individuals experiencing:

  • Persistent tuberculosis symptoms despite standard treatment
  • Known or suspected multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB)
  • Previous treatment failures with first-line TB medications
  • Contact with individuals diagnosed with drug-resistant TB
  • Immunocompromised conditions requiring precise TB treatment
  • Extended cough lasting more than three weeks with other TB symptoms

Key Benefits of Capreomycin Sensitivity Testing

Undergoing this test provides numerous advantages for effective tuberculosis management:

  • Personalized Treatment Planning: Enables healthcare providers to design customized treatment regimens based on specific bacterial susceptibility patterns
  • Prevention of Treatment Failure: Identifies effective second-line drugs before initiating therapy, reducing the risk of unsuccessful treatment outcomes
  • Reduced Side Effects: Helps avoid unnecessary exposure to ineffective medications and their associated adverse effects
  • Public Health Protection: Contributes to controlling the spread of drug-resistant tuberculosis strains within communities
  • Cost-Effective Care: Prevents wasted resources on ineffective treatments and reduces overall healthcare costs

Understanding Your Test Results

Your test results will provide clear guidance on Capreomycin effectiveness:

  • Sensitive Result: Indicates that Capreomycin is likely to be effective against your tuberculosis strain, making it a viable treatment option
  • Resistant Result: Shows that Capreomycin would not be effective, requiring alternative second-line treatment strategies
  • Intermediate Sensitivity: Suggests that higher doses or combination therapy might be necessary for effective treatment

Always discuss your results with your healthcare provider to develop the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.
