Test Details:
The AFB Identification Rapid PNB Test is a diagnostic test used to identify Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) in a patient’s sputum sample. It is a rapid test that provides quick results, allowing healthcare professionals to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) or other AFB-related infections. The test involves staining the sputum sample with a special dye called Ziehl-Neelsen stain. This stain binds to the mycolic acid in the AFB cell wall, making them appear bright red under a microscope. Non-AFB bacteria and other cells will not retain the stain. The AFB Identification Rapid PNB Test is highly specific and sensitive, meaning it accurately detects AFB and minimizes false-positive and false-negative results. It helps healthcare providers make timely and accurate diagnoses, allowing for prompt treatment and control of AFB-related infections.
