The invention discloses a method for inspecting acid-fast
bacilli by liquid-based thin-layer
cell smears. The method comprises the following steps: collecting a specimen, and collecting 2-5ml of
sputum of a subject; preparing a treating liquid, and preparing a
sputum pretreating liquid for inspecting acid-fast
bacilli by the liquid-based thin-layer
cell smears; centrifuging, adding the
sputum into the prepared sputum pretreating liquid, and vibrating for multiple seconds; preparing a section, absorbing multiple milliliters of the sputum at the bottom of a sputum pretreating liquid
test tube by a sucker, putting the sputum into a section preparation bin, putting the section preparation bin into a section preparation
machine, and taking out the section preparation bin to dry when the section preparation
machine completes the preparation; and carrying out acid-fast
staining and
microscopic inspection. Compared with the prior art, the method provided by the invention has the advantages that the positive incidence for inspecting acid-fast
bacilli by sputum thick smears is improved by tens of times; the
tuberculosis infection source can be found out as soon as possible; the
tuberculosis can be treated early if being found out early; the burden of patients is relieved; the
tuberculosis expansion can be controlled.
