SPUTUM FOR TB CULTURE

At Hypro Diagnostics, your healthcare provider is initiating the collection of a sputum sample, commonly referred to as “phlegm,” which is expelled from your lungs through coughing. This meticulously collected sputum undergoes specialized laboratory testing, with a specific focus on detecting tuberculosis (TB) germs. Within our diagnostic approach, analyzing sputum remains a gold standard for confirming the presence of TB disease, offering invaluable insights into your respiratory health. For individuals already undergoing TB medication under our care, the scrutiny of sputum serves as a crucial tool to gauge the effectiveness of the prescribed treatment. To uphold the precision of our diagnostic processes, it is imperative to procure sputum from deep within your lungs. This specific collection protocol ensures the reliability of the results, differentiating the thick and sticky consistency of lung-originating sputum from the watery and thin nature of saliva. Hypro Diagnostics places paramount importance on this stringent collection methodology, facilitating accurate assessments and informed decisions regarding your health and personalized treatment plan.
