24 March 2025 [Press release]

World Tuberculosis Day

World Tuberculosis (TB) Day, observed annually on March 24, amplifies the urgency of ending tuberculosis, the world’s deadliest infectious disease. TB continues to devastate millions globally, inflicting severe health, social, and economic consequences. The WHO's key messages this year are Commit, Invest, Deliver. Proven WHO-recommended interventions include early detection, diagnosis, preventive treatment, and high-quality TB care, particularly for drug-resistant TB.

DiagCor Life Science offers multiple options for TB testing. The GenoScreen^TM TB qPCR Kit is a sensitive, highly specific kit, compatible with various real time PCR machines to quickly detect Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB) complex in clinical specimens. For antibiotic-resistant MTB, the GenoFlow^TM DR-MTB Array Test Kit detects and genotypes tuberculosis variants resistant to rifampicin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH) in liquefied, decontaminated human respiratory specimens.
