Fungal Culture (MI0022)

Description

Fungal Culture is a laboratory test used to detect and identify fungal organisms from clinical specimens such as sputum, skin scrapings, nail clippings, blood, urine, or body fluids. The sample is inoculated onto specialized culture media and incubated to allow fungal growth. This test helps confirm fungal infections, identify the specific organism involved, and guide appropriate antifungal therapy. It is essential in diagnosing superficial and systemic mycoses, especially in immunocompromised patients.
