What does Fungus Culture, Urine measure?

The Fungus Culture, Urine test detects and identifies fungi present in a urine sample. The test involves collecting a urine sample and incubating it under conditions favorable for fungal growth. This test is highly useful to identify fungi like Candida species, and the specific organisms grown are analyzed to determine the appropriate antifungal treatment.

A positive result confirms a fungal infection, indicating that fungi have colonized or infected the urinary tract. This finding is crucial for determining the right course of antifungal medication.

In cases where symptoms persist despite negative findings, further evaluation may be necessary. Proper diagnosis through fungal culture helps prevent complications and ensures effective management of urinary fungal infections.
