About AFB Rapid Culture by MGIT Test

This AFB Rapid Culture by MGIT Test is a specialised diagnostic examination for the rapid detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB bacteria) using a liquid culture system called MGIT (Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube). AFB (acid-fast bacilli) refers to bacteria that retain specific dyes in laboratory staining and are typical of TB and similar infections. It supports accurate diagnosis from clinical specimens such as sputum, pus, urine, tissue and other respiratory samples. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Frequently Asked Questions

This test is advised when tuberculosis is suspected, especially with symptoms like a persistent cough lasting weeks, unexplained weight loss, night sweats or fever. Your clinician may also recommend it after possible TB exposure.

It is recommended to confirm active TB infection and guide treatment, as culture testing remains a gold-standard diagnostic method for TB detection due to its sensitivity and accuracy compared with simple microscopy.

No fasting is required. Specimen collection (e.g. sputum or body fluid) is based on sample type and medical advice, and is generally painless and non-invasive.

Signs such as prolonged cough, blood-tinged sputum, fever, night sweats, unexplained weight loss or persistent fatigue can suggest TB and warrant this test.
