    What is a Culture & Sensitivity - AFB Test?

    The Culture & Sensitivity - Acid-Fast Bacillus (AFB) test is a diagnostic procedure used to identify the presence of tuberculosis (TB) or other mycobacterial infections, including leprosy or TB-like diseases. The test involves collecting a sample of sputum (mucus from the lungs) or tissue, which is then cultured in a laboratory setting to promote the growth of mycobacteria. If mycobacteria are present, they will grow in the culture, confirming an active infection. The AFB test can be performed using various methods: an AFB smear, which allows for rapid detection of acid-fast bacilli through microscopy; an AFB culture, which takes approximately 6-8 weeks to cultivate sufficient bacteria for a definitive diagnosis; a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT), which rapidly detects TB and tests for antibiotic resistance; and a susceptibility test, which helps determine the most effective antibiotic for treatment. The AFB culture plays a critical role in confirming the presence of TB or related mycobacterial infections, particularly for active TB cases that are transmissible, as opposed to latent TB, which remains dormant without causing symptoms. If you reside in Noida, the Culture & Sensitivity - AFB test can be conveniently scheduled for home collection, providing an accessible and effective way to confirm TB or other mycobacterial infections.

    • We had a Health Camp in our society Lotus Boulevard, Noida by Health Orange. I must compliment the team that was here attending to the residents. They were highly professional, polite and maintained the highest standards of hygiene. Raunak has been more than helpful. Totally recommend them for path tests.

    • overall experience is very good..recently used Orange Health as a recommendation from a friend. I was in desperate need to get my family tested and to my surprise I was able to book a home collection test within 45 minutes. With any lab it easily takes more than half a day to book an appointment. I booked at 7:30 am for an 8:15 am slot and the person was right on time. The results were out by mid day. The Orange Health app is super user friendly and I have already recommended them to all my friends...
