Understanding CULTURED AFB ANTITUBERCUL AR DST, RAPID 10 SECOND LINE DRUGS PANEL
DST stands for drug susceptibility testing. When TB bacteria grown from a patient's sample (the 'cultured AFB') are exposed in the laboratory to anti-TB medicines, the test shows which drugs the bacteria are still sensitive to — and which ones they have become resistant to.
This panel covers ten second-line drugs: the reserve medicines used when standard first-line treatment is not suitable, usually because resistance has been found or treatment has failed. The result is what allows the specialist to build a regimen that will actually work against that patient's bacteria.
When do doctors advise this test?
- Drug-resistant TB (such as MDR or rifampicin-resistant TB) needs a customised regimen
- TB treatment is failing, or TB has returned after a completed course (relapse)
- A close contact of a known drug-resistant TB patient develops TB
- The treating specialist advises it before finalising a second-line regimen
Preparation & the sample
DST is performed on bacteria already grown in culture from your sample, so there is usually no new preparation for the patient — but it does mean the total timeline includes the weeks a culture takes to grow. Your treating doctor or our team on +91 9451155402 will confirm which sample is needed and its current status.
This information is educational and general. Your doctor's advice for your specific situation always comes first.
