    What is a AFB Smear Test?

    To detect acid-fast bacteria (AFB) that might indicate a mycobacterial infection like tuberculosis (TB), the AFB Smear test examines a sputum sample under a microscope. This sputum, which is mucus coughed up from the lungs, is spread on a glass slide for analysis. This test is recommended if you have symptoms such as a chronic cough, blood in your sputum, or unexplained weight loss; if you’ve had a positive TB test and are at higher risk due to conditions like AIDS or exposure to high-risk environments; if you show signs of extrapulmonary TB; or if you’re receiving TB treatment and need to monitor its effectiveness. While the AFB Smear can suggest a TB infection, it is not a conclusive diagnostic tool, and further testing may be needed.

    In Hyderabad, if you experience TB symptoms, getting an AFB Smear test can help ensure prompt diagnosis and treatment.
