Overview
About Blood for AFB Culture & Sensitivity
This test cultures your blood sample to check for tuberculosis bacteria and, if found, tests which antibiotics work best against it. It is typically ordered when TB is suspected but a rapid smear test has not given a clear answer.
No fasting is required, and because culture growth takes time, results are available the next day for an initial read, though full sensitivity results can take longer for slow-growing bacteria.
