Service Providers for Fluid C/S for AFB
Fluid C/S for AFB (Acid-Fast Bacilli Culture and Sensitivity) tests body fluids (e.g., pleural, peritoneal, or cerebrospinal fluid) to detect mycobacterial infections, such as tuberculosis. The sample is cultured to identify acid-fast bacteria and determine their antibiotic sensitivity. This test is crucial for diagnosing TB and guiding effective treatment, though results may take several weeks due to slow bacterial growth.
