Frequently Asked Questions

The AFB (Acid-Fast Bacillus) Smear test detects the presence of mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, in respiratory specimens. Taking 5 samples improves diagnostic accuracy.

Individuals with symptoms of tuberculosis, such as a persistent cough, fever, and weight loss, or those at high risk of TB exposure should undergo this test.

Five sputum samples collected on different days are stained and examined under a microscope for acid-fast bacilli.

Positive results suggest the presence of acid-fast bacilli, indicating a possible TB infection.

Further tests, such as culture and drug susceptibility testing, are required to confirm the diagnosis and determine appropriate treatment.
