Fungal culture check

The fungal culture test is a method of culturing a fungus and identifying the fungus of the fungus, and then performing targeted treatment on the disease caused by the fungal infection. Inappropriate crowd: not found yet. Contraindications before inspection: Pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid eating foods that are very irritating to the skin. Basic Information Specialist classification: growth and development check classification: biochemical examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Tips: Pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid eating foods that are very irritating to the skin. Normal value Sampling the tissue suspected of fungal infection and carrying out the culture without detecting the fungus is the normal condition of this test. Clinical significance Abnormal results: Common actinomycetes causing eye infections are mainly Streptomyces, Nocardia, etc., causing keratitis, lacrimal ductitis, dacryocystitis, conjunctivitis, etc. Cryptococcus neoformans can be found in subacute or chronic meningitis or pulmonary infections, and can also invade the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, lymph nodes and intestines. It can invade all organs and tissues when the lungs are disseminated by blood. Regardless of the type of cryptococcal infection that occurs, the central nervous system will eventually be infected. People who need to be examined: patients who have symptoms of fungal infections such as keratitis and lacrimal ductitis. Precautions Contraindications before inspection: Pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid eating foods that are very irritating to the skin. Requirements for inspection: Actively cooperate with the doctor. Inspection process Specimen collection: The specimens of the surface fungus include hair, dander, nails, mites, etc. The specimens are often sterilized with 75% ethanol before separation. Specimens of deep fungi can be taken according to the situation, urine, feces, pus, oral or vaginal secretions, blood, cerebrospinal fluid, various puncture fluids and biopsy tissue. Specimens should be collected for aseptic operation. Culture inspection: can increase the detection rate of fungi and determine the species. The specimen was inoculated on a glucose peptone agar medium (Sabouraudagar), and cultured at room temperature or 37 ° C for 1 to 3 weeks. Small cultures are available to assist in the identification if necessary. The identification of the strain is often judged according to the morphology of the colony and the morphology under the microscope. For some fungi, there are fashions that need to be determined in conjunction with other identification media, biochemical reactions, and molecular biology methods. Not suitable for the crowd Inappropriate crowd: not found yet. Adverse reactions and risks No related complications and hazards have been found.
