Service Providers for CSF for Anti TB IgG
CSF for Anti-TB IgG detects IgG antibodies against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in cerebrospinal fluid, aiding in diagnosing tuberculous meningitis. CSF is collected via lumbar puncture and tested using immunoassays. Preparation includes fasting and ensuring sterile conditions. Risks involve headache, infection, or bleeding from the lumbar puncture. Positive results suggest tuberculosis but must be interpreted with clinical context, as false positives or negatives may occur due to prior treatment or low antibody levels.
