The AFB stain is quick; however, it requires a lot of organisms and specific knowledge to understand the data. This test is especially beneficial to patients with lung illness. Growing and identifying traditional mycobacterial cultures takes weeks of attention, and modern technology enables identification in 24 hours.

Why AFB Stain done? 

If you have tuberculosis, your doctor may do an acid-fast bacteria (AFB) stain test to determine whether you have the disease (TB) or not. Another benefit of using an AFB stain is that it can reveal whether or not you have a mycobacterial infection such as leprosy or a TB-like condition that can affect HIV/AIDS-positive persons.

Sputum AFB test procedure

An AFB culture of phlegm (sputum) is required, and this should be done for the next two days, preferably first thing in the morning. Cough multiple times to avoid excessive salivation or postnasal drip.

If you can't cough enough mucus, a warm sterile saline solution may help. A tube inserted via the mouth or nose into the stomach collects sputum for the bladder. Gastric aspiration is conceivable.

How does one prepare for the test? 

No special preparation is required.
