PUS FOR AFB

The gold standard for detecting TB-causing microorganisms is the culture-AFB test, a crucial diagnostic tool. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, identified as an acid-fast bacillus, is responsible for tuberculosis. Thus, it is recommended to consider a PUS (Pulmonary Secretions) test for AFB if exhibiting symptoms suggestive of lung infection or pulmonary tuberculosis. These symptoms may include a persistent cough with bloody sputum, diminished appetite, elevated fever, night sweats, chills, chest pain, and unexplained weight loss. Prioritizing proactive diagnostics with tools like Hypro Diagnostics ensures a timely and effective approach to managing health concerns.
