Early Tuberculosis Detection When You Need It Most
We understand that persistent cough, chest discomfort, and unexplained symptoms can be worrying. Our Sputum AFB Test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve, detecting tuberculosis bacteria with exceptional accuracy for just ZAR 200.
Understanding Your Sputum AFB Test
This specialised test examines your sputum (phlegm) sample to detect Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB), which are the bacteria responsible for tuberculosis. Using both advanced fluorescent microscopy (Auramine stain) and traditional Ziehl-Neelsen staining, we achieve the highest level of accuracy in identifying TB organisms.
The test requires no special preparation – simply provide a sputum sample in the sterile container provided. We process samples daily by 3:30 PM and deliver same-day results, giving you the answers you need without unnecessary waiting.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, our Sputum AFB Test could provide crucial answers:
- Persistent cough lasting more than 2-3 weeks
- Chest pain or discomfort
- Coughing up blood or rust-coloured sputum
- Unexplained weight loss and fatigue
- Night sweats and fever
- Recent contact with someone diagnosed with TB
Early detection is particularly important if you have a weakened immune system or work in healthcare settings.
Why Early TB Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested at the first sign of symptoms can significantly improve your treatment outcomes and recovery timeline. Early detection means:
- Starting effective treatment sooner
- Reducing the risk of complications
- Preventing transmission to family and colleagues
- Avoiding long-term lung damage
- Returning to normal activities faster
For just ZAR 200, this test provides invaluable peace of mind and protects your long-term health.
