The TB Package Explained

What Are the Tests in The TB Package?

An ideal option if you’re looking for a comprehensive and affordable TB testing option.

Please note that our packages are just a guide, you can pick any of these tests, add extra tests or take out any test. Choose what suits your needs!

Sputum MCS

This test involves taking a sample of your sputum (the mucus that you cough up from your lungs). You’ll be asked to cough up sputum into a sterile container.

AFB + TB Culture

This test also starts with collecting a sputum sample. In addition to examining the sample under a microscope, it’s also cultured to grow any TB bacteria present. This process takes longer than the ZN/AFB smear, usually a few weeks, but it helps to confirm the diagnosis and determine the best antibiotics for treatment.

How Does The TB Package Work?

Coming in for this package is easy. You can book a test on our site or just come through to one of our Walk-In Lab testing centres. One of our nurses will take a little blood from you and use it to test for the health targets identified in this package.
