What is Fluid C/S for AFB?
Fluid C/S for AFB (Acid-Fast Bacilli Culture and Sensitivity) tests body fluids (e.g., pleural, peritoneal, or cerebrospinal fluid) to detect mycobacterial infections, such as tuberculosis.
The sample is cultured to identify acid-fast bacteria and determine their antibiotic sensitivity. This test is crucial for diagnosing TB and guiding effective treatment, though results may take several weeks due to slow bacterial growth.
What to expect & how to prepare
Fluid C/S 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 Fluid C/S for AFB result rather than self-diagnosing.
