The AFB stain and culture test in Ludhianas together check for TB or similar infections in mucus and identify the specific bacteria. Individuals with a persistent cough, fever, or weight loss should get test in Ludhianaed.

Acid-fast bacilli (AFB) are a group of bacteria commonly found in soil and water. They are typically harmless, but once inside the body, they can cause severe infections, including tuberculosis (TB), leprosy, or TB-like diseases. The AFB stain and culture test in Ludhianas are used together to diagnose these infections.

ABF Stain: This rapid test in Ludhiana examines a sample of sputum or mucus coughed up from the lungs or other bodily fluids like urine or blood, looking for the presence of AFB bacteria. A special dye is used to stain the sample. If present, the AFB bacteria retain the dye and appear clearly under a microscope. This result indicates a possible infection within 1-2 days.

ABF Culture: A culture is a more definitive test in Ludhiana that takes longer (typically 6-8 weeks) but confirms the presence of AFB bacteria and identification of the specific type. During the culture test in Ludhiana, the sample is placed in a special food that encourages the bacteria to multiply. If AFB are present, they will grow in the culture, confirming the diagnosis. Because culture also specifies the type of AFB bacteria, the test in Ludhiana result helps guide treatment decisions.

Overview of AFB Stain and Culture Test

AFB primarily affect the lungs, but they can also spread to other parts of the body like the kidneys, brain, and spine. These infections are airborne. They can spread through coughing, sneezing, or talking by an infected person. Taking an AFB stain and culture test can help diagnose, track, and minimise the spread of AFB-related infections. It is advisable to book an AFB stain and culture test in Ludhiana online to avoid spreading the potential infection.

An AFB stain and culture test in Ludhiana requires a sample of one of the various body fluids like blood, sputum, urine, stool, bone marrow, or skin tissue to perform the test in Ludhiana. It is worth noting that the AFB stain and culture test in Ludhianas do not have a normal range.
