Skin Scrapping C/S for AFB

A Skin Scraping C/S for AFB (Acid-Fast Bacilli) is used to diagnose infections caused by Mycobacterium species, such as tuberculosis or leprosy. The procedure involves scraping a sample from the infected skin area and sending it to the lab for culture and testing for AFB. Preparation usually involves cleaning the site, and risks are minimal, though irritation or infection can occur. The results show whether AFB is present and identify the type of bacteria. Conditions like prior antibiotic use or immune suppression can affect the test's accuracy. Results typically take a few weeks.
