Sputum Examination is a diagnostic test that involves the analysis of mucus (sputum) coughed up from the lungs and respiratory tract. It is commonly used to detect bacterial, viral, fungal, or tubercular infections, and to assess conditions such as bronchitis, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or lung cancer. The sample is examined microscopically and may also be cultured to identify specific pathogens. For suspected tuberculosis (TB), a specialized test called AFB (Acid-Fast Bacilli) staining is done. Sputum examination is a crucial tool in diagnosing respiratory diseases and guiding appropriate treatment.
