Service Providers for Urine C/S for AFB
The Urine C/S for AFB (Culture and Sensitivity) test is used to detect the presence of tuberculosis (TB) or other mycobacterial infections in the urinary tract. A urine sample is collected and cultured to identify any bacteria or fungi, with a focus on acid-fast bacilli (AFB). No special preparation is usually needed. Risks include mild discomfort during collection. A positive result indicates a mycobacterial infection like TB, while negative results may require further testing. Conditions like contamination or poor sample collection can affect accuracy. Normal activities can be resumed afterward.
