What does the acronym AFB stand for?

  1. acid fast bacillus

  2. abdomen

  3. attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

  4. as desired

The correct answer is: acid fast bacillus

AFB stands for acid fast bacillus, which is a type of bacteria that can be stained with special dyes used in basic laboratory tests. Option B, abdomen, is incorrect because AFB does not stand for any medical or anatomical term. Option C, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is unrelated as it refers to a neurological disorder. Option D, as desired, is also unrelated and not a standard medical acronym. Overall, AFB is the only relevant and accurate option for the acronym.
