AFB- Urine (Single Sample) in Chandigarh
Also known as: AFB Smear Examination by ZN Stain, Urine (1 sample)
Overview
Acid-fast bacilli (AFB) are bacteria that resist standard staining methods, requiring a special technique known as Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining for identification.
The AFB-Smear Examination ZN Stain on Urine (Single Sample) is a microscopic test used to detect the presence of acid-fast bacilli (AFB) bacteria in the urinary tract. These bacteria, which include Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB), have a unique waxy outer shell that makes them difficult to stain. The ZN stain specifically targets these bacteria, allowing technicians to identify them under a microscope. This test is a preliminary screening tool and a positive result may require further investigation with cultures to confirm the presence and specific type of bacteria. It can help diagnose urinary tract infections caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis or other less common mycobacteria.
