P/S for AFB Price in Bangladesh

What is P/S for AFB?

This test is used to detect tuberculosis (TB) or other mycobacterial infections. Preparation involves collecting sputum or other body fluids.

During the test, a sample is obtained by coughing or from a lesion site. Risks are minimal but may include mild discomfort when producing a sputum sample.

After the test, no special care is needed. Results are interpreted based on the presence of acid-fast bacilli (AFB) under a microscope.

A positive result suggests TB or mycobacterial infection. Conditions like recent antibiotic use or improper sample collection can affect accuracy.

What to expect & how to prepare

P/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 P/S for AFB result rather than self-diagnosing.
