Bronchial Washing for AFB
Bronchial Washing for AFB (Acid-Fast Bacilli) is a diagnostic procedure used to detect tuberculosis (TB) or other mycobacterial infections in the lungs. During a bronchoscopy, a sterile saline solution is instilled into the bronchial tubes and then suctioned out, collecting cells and mucus. This sample is tested for the presence of AFB, which are characteristic of TB. Preparation involves fasting and sometimes stopping certain medications. Risks include infection, bleeding, or discomfort. The test helps identify mycobacterial infections like TB, guiding appropriate treatment with antibiotics or anti-TB medications.225 BDT300 BDT
