    What is a Culture & Sensitivity - AFB Test?

    The Culture & Sensitivity - AFB test is used to find out if a person has tuberculosis (TB) or another type of mycobacterial infection, like leprosy. The test involves taking a sputum sample (mucus from the lungs) or a tissue sample, which is then cultured in a lab to see if mycobacteria grow. If bacteria grow in the sample, it means there is a mycobacterial infection. There are different methods used in this test: an AFB smear, which is a quick way to detect bacteria under a microscope; an AFB culture, which takes 6-8 weeks to grow enough bacteria to make a diagnosis; a molecular test (NAAT) to detect TB quickly and test for antibiotic resistance; and a susceptibility test to determine the best antibiotic treatment. The AFB culture is crucial for confirming active TB, which is contagious and can spread to others, while latent TB remains inactive and does not cause symptoms. If you're in Delhi, you can schedule the Culture & Sensitivity - AFB test at home to confirm TB or other mycobacterial infections.
