    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.

    AFB Smear Test Parameters

    The AFB Smear test measures only one parameter: the presence of AFB in sputum.

When Recommended: This test is recommended as part of your doctor’s prescription or to monitor specific health conditions. Cautions: There are no specific precautions needed before the test.

    Why Take AFB Smear Test?

    Diagnoses tuberculosis by detecting acid-fast bacilli in a sample, critical for confirming TB and guiding treatment.

    • Awesome experience.. very fast and smooth process. Quick response from Orange Health team. I needed to get my covid test done and called almost 10 diagnostic centers none of them responded since it was sunday although they have mentioned they were open but when i called them they said they would come on the next day. (Not to take any names) But Orange Health care team were very prompt. I just checked in their websites. Got a response call within a minute. The executive was very helpful, clear and he surely did know how to talk a patient or person in need , i did feel a sense of caring nature and he sorted it out quickly, arranged the sample collection in the next hour.. Even the lab technician (sample collector) was punctual and He took proper safety measures. And yes!! I got my reports within 4 hours ( i was hoping to get it on the next day) Awesome guys.. keep up the good work.. A Satisfied Patron. 😌

    • It was a bit different and nice experience than the other lab people who come to home for collection. The staff was well groomed and dressed. Had a fresh N93 mask and removed shoes outside home. He didn't touch anything after entering and started wearing all his gears which I noticed was unpacked and fresh. Very neatly took swab, disposed the gears separately in his bag and left. Thorough professional. Also, got report within time. Quick and prompt service.
