What is Skin Scrapping C/S for AFB?
A Skin Scraping C/S for AFB (Acid-Fast Bacilli) is used to diagnose infections caused by Mycobacterium species, such as tuberculosis or leprosy. The procedure involves scraping a sample from the infected skin area and sending it to the lab for culture and testing for AFB.
Preparation usually involves cleaning the site, and risks are minimal, though irritation or infection can occur. The results show whether AFB is present and identify the type of bacteria.
Conditions like prior antibiotic use or immune suppression can affect the test's accuracy. Results typically take a few weeks.
What to expect & how to prepare
Skin Scrapping 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.
