Product Information
AdvaCare is a CE, ISO and USFDA manufacturer of Tuberculosis Test Kits.
Tuberculosis Test Kits identify the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection by measuring the immune response to the TB. An Individual with a positive result should consult a doctor for the first line of treatment, depending on the activeness of the infection.
Our tuberculosis test kit is accurate in 98% of cases, clearly demonstrating its reliability. Other factors may influence the result of the test, such as other medications. If concerned about a false positive then the individual should consult a doctor before taking the test in order to ensure accurate interpretation of the results.
Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which commonly infects the lungs but can infect any tissue in the body. The bacterium is spread via air-borne transmission and can be found in a latent and active form. In the latent form, the bacteria are inactive, with the infected individual being asymptomatic and not contagious. The bacteria is activated by a weakened immune system, leading to the symptoms associated with the active form, which include coughing blood, chest pain, weight loss, fatigue, fever, night sweats and chills.

Additional Information
Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which can infect any tissue in the body but most commonly infects the lungs. Tuberculosis is spread via air-borne transmission and can be found in latent or active form. In latent form, the bacteria are inactive, and the infected individual is asymptomatic and not contagious. The bacteria may be activated by a weakened immune system. In active form, tuberculosis can result in coughing blood, chest pain, weight loss, fatigue, fever, night sweats, and chills.
If left untreated, tuberculosis is potentially fatal. Individuals who are at higher risk of contracting the disease, like HIV/AIDS patients or healthcare workers, should be screened regularly for latent tuberculosis infection.
Tuberculosis is common in developing countries, with the highest incidences reported in India. Younger children are more susceptible to tuberculosis in developing countries, while older people are more susceptible in developed countries. Approximately one-third of the global population is thought to be infected with tuberculosis, but 90% cases are symptomatic. Tuberculosis is endemic in more than 100 countries in Africa, the Americas, the Eastern Mediterranean, South-east Asia, and the Western Pacific.
AccuQuik’s tuberculosis diagnostic test kits are extremely reliable and accurate in 98% of cases. Certain medical factors may influence the result of the test. Individuals taking other medications should consult a doctor before taking the test.
Latent tuberculosis can be treated with medication that prevents the development of the active form, like Isoniazid, Rifampin, and Rifapentine. Active tuberculosis is treated with a 6-9 month drug cocktail. The first line of anti-tuberculosis agents from the core treatment regime involves Isoniazid, Rifampin, Ethambutol, and Pyrazinamide. The treatment is divided into the phase of the initial 2 months and the continuing 4-7 months. It is necessary to finish the entire course of medication in order to kill all the bacteria.
