www.cdc.gov• We recommend that acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear micros-copy be performed, rather than no AFB smear microscopy, in all patients suspected of having pulmonary TB (strong recommendation, moderate-quality evidence). Remarks: False-negative results are sufficiently common that a negative AFB smear result does not exclude pulmonary TB.

www.who.intmicroscopy of two consecutive sputum specimens will identify the vast majority (95–98%) of smear-positive TB patients**. Moreover, microscopy can be decentralised to peripheral laboratories. Despite its advantages sputum smear microscopy does fall short in test sensitivity, especially for certain patient groups such as those living

www.finddx.org50-60% of AFB culture-positive clinical specimens may fail to reveal AFB on smear made from the specimen. As a consequence, culture techniques play a key role in the diagnosis of mycobacterial disease. Egg-based media, such as Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) or Ogawa have been used for cultivation of mycobacteria for several decades.
