AFB by Fluorescent Stain Test in Mahuva

Sterling Accuris offers an AFB by Fluorescent Stain Test in Mahuva  to diagnose tuberculosis and other infections caused by Mycobacterium species. 

Overview of the AFB by Fluorescent Stain Test  

Acid-fast bacilli (AFB) are a group of bacteria that have the characteristic of acid fastness. Acid fastness is the ability to resist decolorization upon exposure to acid during staining. Tuberculosis (TB) and certain other mycobacterial species are included in the acid-fast bacilli group. Microscopic examination of the specimen plays an essential role in identifying bacteria in TB and other mycobacterial infections. The fluorescent staining of the acid-fast using a fluorescent dye and microscopy can help in detecting fluorescent dye-emitting bacteria.

The AFB by fluorescent stain test can provide important clues about TB and other mycobacterial infections, which is helpful for clinicians in planning treatment. Book an AFB by Fluorescent Stain test near you for accurate and reliable results.

Why and When is an AFB by Fluorescent Stain Test Done?
