Discharge for AFB Price in Bangladesh

What is Discharge for AFB?

Discharge for AFB (Acid-Fast Bacilli) testing involves analyzing bodily discharge, such as pus or fluid, to detect mycobacteria, particularly tuberculosis. The sample is stained and examined microscopically to identify acid-fast organisms.

Positive results indicate a mycobacterial infection, aiding in diagnosis and guiding appropriate treatment. This test is critical for identifying tuberculosis in localized infections.

What to expect & how to prepare

Discharge for AFB is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Discharge for AFB result rather than self-diagnosing.
