FAQ

Why are 3 sputum samples needed for a TB test?

When diagnosing a patient, three consecutive sputum samples are required to obtain accurate results. These must be collected over an 8-24 hour period with one sample taken first thing in the morning for optimal accuracy.

Can TB be detected in saliva?

Saliva has also emerged as a reliable diagnostic sample for tuberculosis due to its non-invasive, straight forward collection process, free from the need of skilled personnel, and easy handling.

Can I drink water before the sputum test?

The best time to collect a patient's sputum is when a patient first wakes. You are advised not to  eat, drink or smoke before providing your sputum sample from the lungs for the test.
