Sputum microscopy, CBNAAT/NAAT, culture, drug susceptibility testing, chest X-ray and clinical evaluation may be used depending on the case. Q7. What is the role of Mantoux test? Mantoux test indicates TB infection or immune response but does not alone confirm active TB disease. Q8. What is MDR-TB? MDR-TB means tuberculosis resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampicin, the two key first-line anti-TB drugs. Q9. Why is TB high-yield in PSM?
