AFB - Acid Fast Bacilli

About This Test

The AFB (Acid Fast Bacilli) test is used to detect the presence of acid-fast bacteria in clinical samples, typically from sputum or other respiratory specimens. It helps diagnose tuberculosis and other infections caused by Mycobacterium species, as these bacteria retain a red dye after staining.
