What is Tissue C/S for AFB?
The Tissue Culture/Sensitivity (C/S) for Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) is a test to detect tuberculosis (TB) and other mycobacterial infections. A sample of tissue is collected from an infected area.
The lab cultures the sample to identify the presence of AFB. Preparation generally involves no special instructions, but fasting may be required in some cases.
Risks are minimal, limited to the sample collection. Results show the presence of AFB, and if detected, drug sensitivity tests determine effective antibiotics.
Conditions like contamination or insufficient sample size can affect results. Expect results in 1-6 weeks.
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.
