What is the Biopsy With AFB Stain Test?

The bacterium AFB is responsible for tuberculosis and other diseases. Tuberculosis is a life-threatening bacterial infection that causes lung damage. The brain, spine, and kidneys can all be affected. Coughing or sneezing might spread tuberculosis.

Active or inactive tuberculosis You have germs but don't feel sick and can't spread them to others if you have latent tuberculosis. You will develop symptoms and infect others if you have active tuberculosis.

AFB tests are commonly ordered for patients with active tuberculosis. The lungs create sputum, which is a viscous mucus. In sputum, the tests seek for AFB bacteria.
