Mycobacterium tuberculosis prevalence in Suburbs of Mumbai – A Case Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Tuberculosis is one of the life threatening communicable disease. Detection of the disease at the earliest is necessary, if not it could result in lethal effect. Various tests are available for diagnosis but each has its own limitations. Conventional microscopy has low sensitivity while nonconventional culture has prolonged incubation for reporting positivity. While nucleic acid amplification techniques are very rapid, sensitive and less complicated to perform makes its more preferred to use in early diagnosis. The current case study is aimed at understanding the easy, accurate assessment of the tuberculosis suspected cases and their identification based on the recent scientific analytical approaches. Rifampcin susceptibility analysis isolates the mdr cases and the future possible alternate treatments that can be applied.
