If your doctor suspects you may have TB, then we suggest you obtain a referral to the Royal Darwin Hospital.

The Centre for Disease Control -Tuberculosis / Leprosy / Nontuberculous Mycobacteria

Ph: 08 8922- 8304

You will need to produce three mucus samples taken one week apart. The mucus samples must be kept in the refrigerator and taken to the Hospital.

The symptoms of TB and non-Tuberculosis Mycobacterium (NTM) are very similar. If the Hospital considers you may have NTM, then be prepared for the diagnosis to take many months. NTM is challenging to diagnose and it takes time to determine the best treatment regime for you.
