Genetic Test For Mycobacteria Infection

Maryland rates for HCPCS 87551

A laboratory test that looks for the genetic material of mycobacteria, the group of bacteria that includes the organism causing tuberculosis and several related lung and skin infections. The genetic material in the sample is copied many times over so that even small amounts can be detected. It gives an answer far sooner than growing the organism in culture, which can take weeks.
