AFB (Acid-Fast Bacillus) Culture test

The Acid-Fast Bacillus (AFB) Culture test is a medical test that helps identify the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium responsible for causing tuberculosis (TB) disease.

The AFB test involves taking a sample of sputum, urine, or other bodily fluids and growing it in a special medium that promotes the growth of the bacteria. The bacteria are then stained with a special dye that makes them visible under a microscope.

Who Is Recommended For the Test?

This test is recommended for individuals who have symptoms of TB such as -

  • Coughing,
  • Fever, 
  • Weight loss,
  • Night sweats

It is also recommended for people at higher risk of developing TB, such as those with weakened immune systems due to HIV infection or certain medical conditions.

Early detection and treatment of TB can prevent the spread of the disease and improve outcomes, making the AFB Culture test a valuable tool in TB diagnosis and management.

Detecting TB early is crucial to prevent its spread and improve treatment outcomes, and Redcliffe Labs is committed to providing accessible and reliable diagnostic services to our patients.
