    What is a AFB Smear Test?

    The AFB Smear test is employed to detect the presence of acid-fast bacteria (AFB) in sputum, which may suggest a mycobacterial infection such as tuberculosis (TB). In this test, a sputum sample (mucus coughed up from the lungs) is applied to a glass slide and examined under a microscope. You might need this test if you have symptoms like a long-lasting cough, blood in your mucus, or unexpected weight loss; if you’ve previously tested positive for TB and are at elevated risk due to conditions like AIDS or high-risk environments; if you show signs of extrapulmonary TB; or if you’re currently undergoing TB treatment and need to assess its effectiveness. The AFB Smear test can indicate possible TB infection but isn’t conclusive alone and may require additional diagnostic steps.

    For those in Noida showing signs of TB, taking the AFB Smear test can aid in early identification and treatment.
