    What is a AFB Smear Test?

    The AFB Smear test is utilized to detect acid-fast bacteria (AFB) in sputum, which could signal a mycobacterial infection such as tuberculosis (TB). This involves spreading a sputum sample, which is thick mucus from the lungs, onto a glass slide and analyzing it under a microscope. You might need this test if you exhibit symptoms like a chronic cough, blood in your mucus, or significant weight loss; if you’ve tested positive for TB and are at high risk due to conditions like AIDS or certain high-risk situations; if there are indications of extrapulmonary TB affecting areas beyond the lungs; or if you’re being treated for TB and need to check the treatment’s progress. The AFB Smear test helps identify possible TB cases but is not definitive on its own.

    For those in Gurgaon showing TB symptoms, an AFB Smear test can be crucial for early detection and appropriate treatment.
