Tissue for AFB Price in Bangladesh

What is Tissue for AFB?

The Tissue for AFB (Acid-Fast Bacilli) test checks for the presence of tuberculosis (TB) bacteria in tissue samples. It involves collecting a biopsy or tissue specimen, usually through a needle or surgery.

No special preparation is typically needed. During the test, you may experience minor discomfort.

Risks include infection or bleeding at the biopsy site. Results show if TB-causing bacteria are present.

Positive results confirm active TB infection, while negative results may indicate no infection, though further testing may be needed. Conditions like prior antibiotic use or sample contamination can affect results.

What to expect & how to prepare

Tissue 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 for AFB result rather than self-diagnosing.
