Service Providers for 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.
