Migliori prestazioni nel rilevamento della tubercolosi farmaco-sensibile e farmaco-resistente in meno di 80 minuti

L’esigenza

an ill woman listens to a physician
  • Each day, close to 4.400 people lose their lives to TB and nearly 30.000 people fall ill with this preventable and curable disease1
  • Globally, diagnosis of TB and drug-resistant TB remains a challenge, with a third of people with TB and two-thirds of people with drug-resistant TB not being detected1
  • Precise and early detection of TB is needed to improve case management and significantly enhance the prevention of TB transmission2

  • Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra provides fast and highly accurate detection of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB) and Rifampicin (RIF) resistance simultaneously from patient samples
  • Higher sensitivity, especially in smear-negative TB cases and among HIV-infected patients3
  • Simple three-step process with minimal hands-on time and results in ~80 min direct from sample
  • Designed to provide highly accurate MTB and Rifampicin detection utilizing multi-target and melt curves technology

  • Early detection of MTB and RIF resistance can support timely clinical decision‑making and appropriate therapy initiations4
  • IIncreased access to front‑line testing with Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra as part of active case finding and management can help support control activities5
  • Superior sensitivity to smear microscopy enables detection of more MTB‑positive patients, with results available in ~80 minutes to support prompt clinical assessment
