MTB-Smear AFB (Acid fast bacilli) & Culture MTB Automated
Number of Tests | 2 |
Test Included | Smear, Culture |
Test Details: Conventional smear microscopy with the Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) stain is a rapid and practical method for detecting acid-fast bacilli (AFB), due to its rapidity, low cost and high positive predictive value for tuberculosis. Culture increases the number of tuberculosis cases found, often by 30-50% and detects cases which are smear-negative.
