Nipple Discharge for AFB Stain

This test is used to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis or other acid-fast bacilli (AFB) in nipple discharge, helping diagnose infections like tuberculosis. Preparation involves cleaning the nipple area to avoid contamination. During the test, a sample of the discharge is collected using a sterile swab. Risks are minimal but may include mild discomfort. After the test, no special care is needed. Results show if AFB are present, aiding in diagnosis. Conditions like recent antibiotic use or a previous infection may influence the accuracy of results, potentially leading to false negatives.
