Pericardial fluid for GeneXpert(MTB)

This test detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in pericardial fluid, helping diagnose tuberculosis (TB) infections affecting the heart's lining. Preparation involves sterilizing the area before fluid extraction. During the test, a needle is inserted into the chest to collect the fluid. Risks include discomfort, infection, or injury to surrounding tissues. After the test, some soreness or bruising may occur. Results confirm the presence of MTB DNA, indicating TB infection. Conditions like prior TB treatment or low bacterial load in the sample can affect the test's accuracy.
