Routine laboratory exams are usually normal. The presence of acid-fast-bacilli (AFB) on a sputum smear or another specimen usually indicates TB disease and a positive culture for M. tuberculosis confirms the diagnosis. Other examples of laboratory tests are urinalysis, peritoneal fluid, or CSF analysis and Interferon-Gamma release assays (IGRA).
