Tests that measure M tuberculosis complex
Quest Diagnostics 4, Labcorp 3

Ranges

Each lab publishes a reference range for the population groups it tests, usually the middle 95% of results. These intervals describe that population, not an optimal or healthy target. How ranges differ

    4 analytes · Csf · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 48 - 56 days

    Method and collection
    Method
    Nucleic acid amplification (NAA), nested real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR); concentrated specimen with broth-based and/or agar-based culture. Culture is held for six weeks before negative is reported. Organisms from culture are identified by use of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and/or MALDI-TOF and/or nucleic acid sequencing.

Verify these ranges and sources

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
