    What is a Culture & Sensitivity - AFB Test?

    The Culture & Sensitivity - AFB test is an essential diagnostic tool used to determine whether a person has tuberculosis (TB) or another mycobacterial infection, such as leprosy. The test involves collecting a sample of mucus from the lungs (sputum) or tissue and culturing it in a laboratory to confirm if any mycobacteria are present. This test is highly useful because it combines different methods: an AFB smear for quick detection of bacteria, an AFB culture to grow enough bacteria for a conclusive diagnosis (which takes 6-8 weeks), and a molecular test to rapidly detect TB and identify any antibiotic resistance. A susceptibility test is also performed to find the most effective antibiotic treatment. Confirming active TB is crucial, as it is contagious and requires prompt treatment to prevent spread, while latent TB remains inactive and does not cause symptoms. If you live in Hyderabad, you can conveniently schedule the Culture & Sensitivity - AFB test at home to confirm a diagnosis of TB or other related infections and ensure you get the right care.
