About:

The acid-fast bacillus (AFB) poses a significant threat as the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB) and other infections, with a specific affinity for the lungs and potential impact on various organs. TB, a severe bacterial infection transmitted through respiratory droplets, can either remain latent without symptoms or become active, leading to illness and the risk of spreading the disease. In the realm of diagnostics, Hypro Diagnostics recognizes the paramount importance of the AFB test, especially in individuals showing symptoms. This diagnostic method involves the analysis of sputum, a dense lung mucus, to detect the presence of AFB bacteria. Two key AFB tests are utilized: the AFB smear, offering rapid results in 1–2 days but indicating a potential or likely infection without a definitive diagnosis, and the AFB culture, confirming TB or another infection but requiring 6–8 weeks for sufficient bacterial growth. These diagnostic tools are indispensable for the timely identification of active TB, enabling Hypro Diagnostics to guide healthcare professionals in implementing effective treatment strategies and preventive measures, ultimately contributing to enhanced public health outcomes.
