THE DIFFERENCE IN THE RESULTS OF THE MOLECULAR RAPID TEST (TCM) EXAMINATION IN TUBERCULOSIS SUSPECTS WHO WERE IMMEDIATELY EXAMINED AND SAMPLES THAT WERE DELAYED FOR 12 HOURS AT DR. HI HOSPITAL. ZAINAL UMAR SIDIKI
Abstract
Tuberculosis is a disease that can cause death caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In some areas in Indonesia, far from health facilities, samples are required to experience delays in examination because they go through the delivery process. Developed Molecular Rapid Test (TCM) examination technology is able to detect Tuberculosis using the GeneXpert MTB/RIF tool. The purpose of this study was to find out the difference in the results of the Molecular Rapid Test (TCM) examination in Tuberculosis samples that were directly examined and samples that were postponed for examination. This research method uses a quantitative approach that aims to find out the difference in the results of the Molecular Rapid Test (TCM) examination in samples of tuberculosis suspects who were immediately examined and the examination was postponed for 12 hours at the Dr. Hi Regional General Hospital. Zainal Umar Sidiki. The type of data used is primary data obtained from research results and secondary data obtained from Medical Record data at Dr. Hi Regional General Hospital. Zainal Umar Sidiki. The results of this research show that the results of the examination that were immediately examined obtained the results of 6 samples that were MTB Not Detected and 9 samples that MTB Detected Rif Resistance Detected, as well as tuberculosis samples that were delayed for 12 hours, there were 6 samples of MTB Not Detected and 9 samples that were MTB Detected Rif Resistance Detected.
