    What is a Culture & Sensitivity - AFB Test?

    The Culture & Sensitivity - AFB test is used to identify if a person has tuberculosis (TB) or another mycobacterial infection, such as leprosy or a TB-like disease. It involves collecting a sputum (mucus from the lungs) or tissue sample, which is cultured in a laboratory to encourage bacteria to grow. If the bacteria grow, it confirms the presence of a mycobacterial infection. The AFB test can include several methods: an AFB smear to quickly detect bacteria under a microscope; an AFB culture, which takes 6-8 weeks to grow enough bacteria for a diagnosis; a molecular test (NAAT) to detect TB and test for antibiotic resistance; and a susceptibility test to determine the best antibiotic treatment. The AFB culture is crucial for confirming TB or other infections, especially for individuals with active TB, which can spread to others, unlike latent TB, where bacteria remain inactive without symptoms. If you live in Bangalore you can schedule the Culture & Sensitivity - AFB test in Bangalore to confirm a diagnosis of TB or other mycobacterial infections.
