Aspiration Fluid for AFB Stain

The Aspiration Fluid for AFB Stain test is used to detect acid-fast bacilli (AFB), such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, in fluid samples obtained through aspiration. The test involves aspirating fluid from areas like abscesses, joints, or pleural cavities, and then staining the fluid with Ziehl-Neelsen stain to visualize the AFB under a microscope. This test helps diagnose tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections. Risks are minimal, typically involving mild discomfort or a small risk of infection at the aspiration site. A positive result indicates the presence of AFB, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment planning.
