The AFB-detection by Smear Examination using Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) Stain for BAL (Bronchoalveolar Lavage) and other respiratory samples is a key diagnostic method for identifying Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB), notably Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In this procedure, respiratory specimens like sputum or BAL fluid are collected, processed, and stained with Ziehl-Neelsen dye. The stained slides are then observed under a microscope for the characteristic red-stained AFB, indicative of tuberculosis infection. AFB-detection by ZN Stain in respiratory samples is a reliable and widely used method.
