What is Vaginal Swab for AFB?
The Vaginal Swab for AFB (Acid-Fast Bacilli) test is used to detect tuberculosis (TB) or other mycobacterial infections in the vaginal area. A sterile swab is used to collect a sample of vaginal discharge, which is then examined under a microscope or cultured to identify AFB.
No special preparation is typically required. Risks include mild discomfort or irritation during the collection.
A positive result suggests the presence of mycobacterial infection, such as genital TB, while negative results may require further testing for other infections. Normal activities can be resumed after the test.
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.
