    What is a AFB Smear Test?

    The AFB Smear test is used to detect the presence of acid-fast bacteria (AFB) in sputum, which may indicate a mycobacterial infection such as tuberculosis (TB). During the test, a sample of your sputum (thick mucus coughed up from the lungs) is spread on a glass slide and examined under a microscope. You may need the AFB smear test if you have symptoms of a lung infection like a chronic cough, blood in sputum, or weight loss; if you’ve had a positive TB test and are at high risk due to conditions like acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or high-risk environments; if you show signs of extrapulmonary TB affecting other body parts; or if you're being treated for TB to check treatment effectiveness and infectiousness. This test can reveal potential signs of a TB infection. However, an AFB Smear alone cannot confirm a diagnosis but is useful for identifying cases that may require further testing. If you live in Bangalore and are experiencing signs of a TB infection, get an AFB Smear test today. This will help quickly identify if you have a mycobacterial infection, allowing for timely diagnosis and treatment.

    • My experience with orange labs was really smooth. Earlier I booked for night but then someone called and asked about when did I eat and since I had to be in fast for past 8 hrs before sample collection, we rescheduled it to next morning. The sample collector came in time and process was very smooth.
      5.0
    • My experience with Orange labs have been excellent so far. Have relied on their home visit for regular blood tests given that it is a case of dengue, and close monitoring of the blood count is essential. They are prompt as promised and the results too are available within committed time lines. As to accuracy of results, I rely on the lab certifications to give me confidence. Would have wanted a voice interface ( a number to call ) for a first time experience, and an ability to order for quicker reports (2 hours) for a differential charge. For the service delivered as published, it is a 5-star
