Gall Blader Fluid for AFB
Gallbladder fluid analysis for Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) is conducted to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis or other mycobacteria, especially in suspected biliary tuberculosis cases. The procedure typically involves bile collection via Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or during surgery. The collected fluid undergoes staining, culture, and molecular testing to identify AFB. Preparation includes fasting and adjusting medications as advised. Risks include discomfort, bleeding, infection, or sedation-related reactions. Results determine the presence of mycobacteria, guiding anti-tubercular treatment if positive. Conditions like prior antibiotics or obstruction may impact AFB detection. This test is critical for diagnosing rare biliary TB or confirming extra-pulmonary tuberculosis involving the hepatobiliary system.600 BDT
