Stain AFB Test
Stain AFB (ZN Stain) Test checks for the presence of Acid fast bacilli in the collected specimen, most commonly sputum
but can be other body fluids too. Acid-fast bacilli (Mycobacteria) are a group of rod-shaped bacteria (bacilli) that can
be seen under the microscope following a staining procedure with Ziehl Neelson Or ZN stain. The bacteria retains the
color of the stain after an acid wash, hence called as acid-fast. This test is usually ordered when the doctor suspects
Tuberculosis, the symptoms of which include chronic cough, weight loss, loss of appetite.
