Ascitic Fluid for AFB

The Ascitic Fluid for AFB test is performed to detect acid-fast bacilli (AFB) in ascitic fluid, which is the fluid accumulated in the abdomen due to conditions like tuberculous peritonitis or other infections. The test involves obtaining a sample of the ascitic fluid through paracentesis (a needle inserted into the abdomen) and examining it under a microscope or culturing it for AFB. This helps diagnose abdominal tuberculosis. Risks include slight discomfort or infection at the puncture site. A positive result confirms the presence of tuberculosis, while a negative result may require further investigation.
