Wound Swab for AFB
The Wound Swab for AFB (Acid-Fast Bacilli) test is used to detect the presence of mycobacterial infections, such as tuberculosis, in wound infections. A sterile swab is used to collect a sample of discharge or tissue from the wound. The sample is then stained using an acid-fast method and examined under a microscope to identify any AFB. No special preparation is typically required. Risks include mild discomfort during sample collection. A positive result suggests a mycobacterial infection, while a negative result suggests the absence of AFB, though further testing may be required for a definitive diagnosis.225 BDT300 BDT
