Active TB can be diagnosed via the following Process:
1-History of contact with a TB Patient.
2-Non specific TB symptoms such as fever , malaise , anorexia and weight loss.
3-If TB is suspected a Mantoux test is perforemed , and induration measured ,
an induration of more than 10mm with no BCG adminstration , or 15mm with BCG vaccination implies active TB.
4-Culture of the bacteria can be done , in children as they swallow the sputum , collection is done by 3 consecutive gastric washings , to isolate the organism , in adults however the organism can be isolated from the coughed sputum.
5-The organism is cultured , a positive culture denotes active TB.
6-The organism is viewed as acid fast bacilli with zeihl nelsen stain , and tested for antibiotic sensitivity.
a Tb tine test. Which is a sub Q shot of ppd that within 48 hours needs to be checked for a reaction. If there is no reaction your good. If there is a positive reaction it is followed up by a chest x-ray and then medicine.

Testing menstrual blood for TB PCR can provide a noninvasive and easily accessible sample for diagnosis.
As of late 2002, four molecular techniques are increasingly used in laboratories around the world to diagnose TB. They include. nucleic acid probes to identify mycobacteria in culture
its a quick blood test to be done to diagnose TB weather its pulmonary or extra pulmonary. some times it gives false positive report if the client is vaccinated with BCG. THANKS
1 tb= 1000gb 10 tb= 10000gb
1.5 tb = 1 and a half tb
As of late 2002, four molecular techniques are increasingly used in laboratories around the world to diagnose TB. They include. genetic-based susceptibility testing to identify drug-resistant strains of mycobacteria.

There are 1024 gb in a tb. 1 tb=1024 gb. it is easier to say 1 tb rather than 1024 gb. ex. 2 tb= 2048 gb
