Albert’s Stain Test (Throat Swab)

Direct answer: Albert’s Stain Test detects Corynebacterium diphtheriae bacteria, used to screen for diphtheria infection from a throat swab sample.

Albert’s stain is a specialised laboratory staining method that highlights diphtheria-causing bacteria under a microscope. A throat swab test collects a sample from the back of the throat to identify infection early and prevent serious complications. Sample collection is available through the Home Collection Facility in Pune, along with Direct Walk-in Facility at healthcare nt sickcare centres.

Why is an Albert’s Stain Test advised?

Direct answer: This test confirms suspected diphtheria infection when throat symptoms are present.

Doctors advise this test when there is sore throat, fever, difficulty swallowing or a greyish membrane over tonsils. Early detection helps begin prompt treatment and reduces transmission risk. You may review test preparation guidance and explore diagnostic comparisons through health checkup resources. For clinical reference, visit WHO diphtheria information.
