Conjunctival Swab (Rt.) for AFB

A Conjunctival Swab (Rt.) for AFB (Acid-Fast Bacilli) is a diagnostic test used to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis or other acid-fast organisms in the conjunctiva of the right eye. The test involves taking a sample from the conjunctival sac of the right eye, which is then stained using the Ziehl-Neelsen stain to identify acid-fast bacilli under the microscope. This test is particularly useful in diagnosing ocular tuberculosis, which can cause symptoms like eye redness, pain, and vision impairment. It is typically ordered when there is suspicion of tuberculosis affecting the eye or in patients with risk factors for systemic tuberculosis.
