    What is a Culture & Sensitivity - AFB Test?

    The Culture & Sensitivity - AFB test is used to see if someone has tuberculosis (TB) or another infection caused by similar bacteria, like leprosy. It involves collecting a sample of mucus from the lungs (called sputum) or a tissue sample, which is then checked in a lab to see if bacteria grow. If the bacteria grow, it confirms the infection. The test can include different methods: an AFB smear to look for bacteria under a microscope quickly, an AFB culture which takes 6-8 weeks to grow enough bacteria, a molecular test to quickly detect TB and check for resistance to antibiotics, and a susceptibility test to find out which antibiotics will work best. The AFB culture is especially important for confirming active TB, which can spread to others, unlike latent TB that stays inactive and does not cause symptoms. If you live in Gurgaon, you can easily schedule the Culture & Sensitivity - AFB test at home to confirm if you have TB or a similar infection.

    Highest Rated Diagnostic Lab

    • I had to travel out of India, and needed my RTPCR to be done 24 hours prior to my travel. Orange Health Diagnostic helped me at a very critical time and gave me my RT PCR test in 3 hours once the sample was collected. Their website is very user friendly and one can track everything on it. They were really quick with their service and the sample collection happened following all protocols and happened very quickly. I registered at 9am and my sample was collected at 10.15am the same day. I recommend this lab to everyone! It was a wonderful experience

    • 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.

    • I found Orange Health Labs while searching for a comprehensive allergy test. They offer the best price for this test among all the online pharmacies. None of 1mg, Netmeds, PharmEasy or Max have the option of a complete allergy test (236 allergens) at Rs 5000. So this is a huge bonus for common people like me. The sample collection staff was so good at their job, I didn't even feel when the needle was inserted and when the test was done also. Super polite customer service, digital payment, deep discount on allergy tests make this a highly recommended service. I had a marvelous experience with them.
