Tracheal Aspirate for AFB Stain

The Tracheal Aspirate for AFB (Acid-Fast Bacilli) Stain test is used to detect tuberculosis (TB) or other mycobacterial infections in the lungs. It involves collecting a sample from the trachea using a sterile tube or suction device, with no special preparation usually required. Risks may include mild discomfort, coughing, or slight bleeding. A positive result indicates the presence of mycobacteria, confirming TB or similar infections, while negative results may lead to further testing. Conditions like poor sample collection or other respiratory infections can affect accuracy. Normal activities can be resumed after the procedure.
