Frequently asked questions

What antibiotics are used for acid-fast bacteria?plus

Acid-fast bacteria (e.g. Mycobacterium tuberculosis and non‑tuberculous mycobacteria) are treated with combinations such as isoniazid, rifampicin (rifampin), ethambutol and pyrazinamide; streptomycin is used in some regimens. Non‑tuberculous infections often use macrolides (clarithromycin, azithromycin), ethambutol, rifabutin, amikacin or fluoroquinolones. Partially acid‑fast Nocardia typically responds to trimethoprim‑sulfamethoxazole, sometimes with amikacin or imipenem. Treatment depends on species and susceptibility; regimens are prolonged and specialist‑guided.

How many AFB for TB?plus

Any visible acid‑fast bacillus (AFB) on a sputum smear is considered smear‑positive for TB. For quantitation: scanty = 1–9 AFB per 100 fields; 1+ = 10–99 AFB/100 fields; 2+ = 1–10 AFB per field in at least 50 fields; 3+ = >10 AFB per field in at least 20 fields. Culture or molecular tests confirm infection and guide treatment.

What is the sensitivity of AFB?plus

Acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear microscopy has relatively low sensitivity, typically about 20–60% compared with culture. Overall average sensitivity is often cited near 50%, improving with multiple sputum samples and higher bacillary load, and reduced in paucibacillary settings (e.g. HIV, early or extrapulmonary TB). Culture or molecular tests (e.g. NAATs) are more sensitive for diagnosis.

What is an AFB test used for?plus

An AFB test detects acid-fast bacilli, bacteria with waxy cell walls, notably Mycobacterium tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria, in sputum, tissue, or body fluids. It helps diagnose tuberculosis, guide isolation and treatment decisions, monitor response to therapy, and assess infectiousness. Smear microscopy, culture and molecular methods are used; culture or molecular tests confirm species and drug susceptibility.

Can I exercise before Acid Fast Suspectibility - 10 drugs?plus

Avoid strenuous exercise for 12 to 24 hours before Acid Fast Suspectibility - 10 drugs, since intense activity can temporarily change several blood markers. Light everyday movement is fine.

Can Acid Fast Suspectibility - 10 drugs be combined with a health package?plus

Yes. Acid Fast Suspectibility - 10 drugs can be booked on its own or as part of a broader preventive health package on GetVisit, which often works out more cost-effective. You can choose either option before payment.

Just staying on top of my health , something I started doing after turning 40. Booked an early morning slot before my office hours , GetVisit had 7 AM availability in Kandivali. Everything was hygienic and the staff clearly knew what they were doing. Reports were sharp and detailed , no ambiguity in any of the values. Saved time and money compared to going to a hospital lab.
