CBNAAT: An Emerging Xpert in Diagnosis of Head and Neck ...The CBNAAT test, or Cartridge-Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test, is a rapid molecular diagnostic test that identifies the genetic material of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria to detect Tuberculosis (TB) and Rifampicin resistance. It provides accurate results from a sputum sample within approximately two hours, enabling early diagnosis and treatment of TB. The test works by analyzing a patient's DNA in a sputum sample using a fully automated, cartridge-based system. Purpose of the Test Diagnose TB: Detects the DNA of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, which causes TB. Detect Drug Resistance: Identifies Rifampicin resistance, a crucial factor for effective TB treatment. Early Diagnosis & Treatment: Its speed allows for prompt identification of TB, leading to earlier treatment initiation. How the CBNAAT Test Works 1. Sample Preparation: A sputum sample is mixed with a special reagent and incubated to liquefy and process the specimen. 2. Cartridge Loading: A portion of the processed sample is transferred into a single-use CBNAAT cartridge, which contains the necessary Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) reagents. 3. Automated Testing: The cartridge is placed into the GeneXpert system, where sample processing, nucleic acid amplification, and detection occur automatically. 4. Results: The system analyzes the results for the presence of TB DNA and any Rifampicin resistance mutations, providing a report within about two hours. Who Should Get Tested Individuals with symptoms of TB, such as a persistent cough, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. People who have been in close contact with someone diagnosed with TB. Individuals with a weakened immune system, like those with HIV, who are at higher risk for TB. Key Features Speed: Provides results in hours, unlike traditional tests that can take weeks. Automation: The process is largely automated, ensuring consistency and reducing manual handling. Gold Standard: Considered a highly accurate and reliable test for TB diagnosis and for detecting drug resistance. Versatility: Can be used for diagnosing other infections, such as COVID-19, and for testing other bodily fluids besides sputum.
