TB is a very contagious bacterial infection that is spread through the air. The test can be done on a sample of sputum. This is the mucus you cough up from your lungs. Or the test can be done on urine, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), blood, or other tissue.
You may need this test if you had a screening test for TB that was positive. A TB culture can also help guide your treatment.
If the result for Tb Culture Urine is positive, the culture indicates active infection for unisex gender and for all age groups.
