Cervical Smear for AFB

A Cervical Smear for AFB (Acid-Fast Bacilli) is a diagnostic test used to detect tuberculosis (TB) in the cervix, particularly when there is suspicion of genital tuberculosis. In this test, a sample of cells is collected from the cervix, smeared onto a slide, and then stained using the Ziehl-Neelsen stain, which highlights acid-fast bacilli under the microscope. The presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria responsible for TB, in the smear indicates genital TB. Although genital TB is rare, it can cause infertility or menstrual irregularities, and this test is important for diagnosing TB when symptoms like abnormal discharge or pelvic pain occur.
