tests.
The Rapid Diagnostic Tuberculosis (TB) Whole Blood Test
can be done in 15 minutes.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by bacteria called
Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria usually attack the lungs.
But, TB bacteria can attack any part of the body such as the
kidney, spine, and brain. If not treated properly, TB disease can
be fatal.
Annually, 8 million people become ill with tuberculosis, and 2
million people die from the disease worldwide. Recently 14.6
million people had active TB disease with 9 million new cases. The
annual incidence rate varies from 356 per 100,000 in Africa to 41 per 100,000 in the Americas. The
Rate in the Americas is growing at double digit percentage rate.
The US at one time had no or very few cases of TB, but now has an
alarming rise in the disease. Tuberculosis is the world's greatest
infectious killer of women of reproductive age and the leading
cause of death among people with HIV/AIDS.
The sooner the disease is found and the sooner treatment can
begin, the better the chances of survival.
WholeHealth Products' TB Rapid Diagnostic Test is a 15 minute
test.
Tuberculosis (TB) is spread primarily via
airborne transmission of aerosolized droplets developed by
coughing, sneezing and talking.
The One Step TB test is a chromatographic immunoassay for the
qualitative detection of human anti-TB (M. tuberculosis, M. bovis
and M. africanum) antibodies (all isotypes: IgG, IgM, IgA,
etc.). This test is intended for use as an aid in the
diagnosis of TB.
For professional use only.
The identification aids in the diagnosis of tuberculosis and
provides epidemiological information on this disease.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the common causative organism
in human tuberculosis, a chronic infectious disease characterized
by formation of tubercles (small rounded nodules) and tissue
necrosis (destruction), usually occurring in the lung.
Inspired by its slogan, "Love Life Live Long,"
WholeHealth Products is committed to building long term
relationships with the medical and healthcare professional and the
patients, helping saves lives.
