    What is a AFB Smear Test?

    The AFB Smear test helps identify the presence of acid-fast bacteria (AFB) in sputum, which could indicate a mycobacterial infection such as tuberculosis (TB). In this test, a sputum sample, which is thick mucus coughed up from the lungs, is placed on a glass slide and examined under a microscope. You might need this test if you have symptoms like a persistent cough, blood in your sputum, or unexplained weight loss; if you’ve had a positive TB test and are at high risk due to conditions like AIDS or exposure in high-risk environments; if you show symptoms of extrapulmonary TB affecting other parts of your body; or if you’re undergoing TB treatment and need to monitor its effectiveness.

    While the AFB Smear test can indicate potential TB infection, it cannot confirm it on its own and may require additional testing. Residents of Delhi with symptoms suggestive of TB should consider getting an AFB Smear test to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment.
