Early analysis of tuberculosis could be very important for healing reasons and to govern the spread of contamination. The reason of this observes become to evaluate the efficacy of fluorescence (FL) microscopy in evaluation to Ziehl- Neelsen (ZN) staining. A general of 120 samples had been amassed from paediatric tuberculosis (TB) suspects and processed the usage of Petroff’s method. The smears were stained by ZN and FL staining for the detection of acid-fast bacilli (AFB). Positive smears have been graded in line with scale of International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease and World Health Organisation (IUATLD/WHO). The descriptive study conducted at SRM Medical College Hospital and Research centre. Out of 71 pulmonary and extra-pulmonary samples, forty nine have been high-quality for AFB on the ZN approach, whilst the positivity accelerated to15 (12.5%) at the FL method. Two nice samples have been neglected on ZN staining which have been observed to be fantastic with FL microscopy; as a consequence typical positivity accelerated via 13/15 by FL microscopy over the conventional ZN approach. The difference in case detection was determined to be statistically vast (p
