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
Tissue 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 Tissue C/S for AFB result rather than self-diagnosing.
