Tuberculosis drug resistance examination includes lung imaging, pathogenetics and linear probe detection method.
1. Lung imaging is a common test for tuberculosis, including lung X-ray, CT, etc. It can be used as a reference to observe whether there are cavities and exudative inflammatory lesions in the lesions through imaging to make a preliminary judgment of whether drug resistance has occurred.
2. Pathogenesis, mainly refers to sputum culture, local histopathological examination, etc., is the most intuitive examination, which can clarify the specific causative organisms, so as to analyze whether there is drug resistance. At the same time, it can be combined with drug sensitivity test to clarify the sensitive first-line and second-line drugs, which can provide guidance for clinical drug use.
3. Linear probe test is a professional TB test, mainly used for isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide resistance test.
Specific tests need to be carried out according to the doctor’s prescription after medical consultation, along with symptomatic treatment.
