Culture, Fungus

Culture, Fungus is a laboratory test that involves the isolation and identification of fungal organisms from clinical specimens. This test is essential for diagnosing fungal infections, which can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, nails, lungs, and bloodstream. During the procedure, samples such as skin scrapings, nail clippings, blood, or other bodily fluids are collected and cultured on specific growth media that support fungal growth. The samples are incubated for several days to weeks, allowing any present fungi to multiply.
