CSF for AFB
CSF for Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) tests for Mycobacterium tuberculosis in cerebrospinal fluid, crucial for diagnosing tuberculous meningitis. CSF is obtained via lumbar puncture and analyzed using AFB staining, culture (e.g., Löwenstein-Jensen medium), and molecular methods like PCR. Preparation requires fasting and sterile conditions. Risks include headache, infection, or bleeding from the lumbar puncture. Positive results confirm tuberculosis, but low bacterial counts or prior antibiotics may lead to false negatives.600 BDT
