Peritoneal Fluid for AFB Price in Bangladesh

What is Peritoneal Fluid for AFB?

This test detects tuberculosis (TB) or other mycobacterial infections in the peritoneal cavity. Preparation involves fasting before the procedure.

During the test, a healthcare provider performs a paracentesis to collect fluid from the abdomen using a needle. Risks include infection, bleeding, or injury to surrounding organs.

After the test, mild discomfort or bloating may occur. Results identify the presence of AFB, indicating a mycobacterial infection.

Conditions like prior TB exposure or weakened immunity can influence test results or the likelihood of infection.

What to expect & how to prepare

A culture test looks for bacteria or other organisms in a sample and checks which antibiotics act against them. The sample is incubated in the laboratory, so this test needs more time than a routine blood report.

• Antibiotics: tell the laboratory if you have already started an antibiotic — it can change the result. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
• Sample collection: the correct sample and the way it is collected depend on the site being tested; the laboratory will instruct you or collect it for you.
• Timing: culture results take longer than routine tests because the organisms must grow first. Ask the laboratory when your report is expected.

Interpreted together with your symptoms — antibiotic choice should be made by a registered doctor, not from the report alone.
