Service Providers for SSF from Tongue
SSF (Superficial Scraping for Fungi) from the tongue is a diagnostic test used to detect fungal infections on the tongue's surface, such as oral thrush. This condition is commonly caused by Candida species. The procedure involves gently scraping the affected area on the tongue to collect a sample, which is then sent to a laboratory for culturing. The cultured sample allows fungi to grow, and sensitivity testing may be performed to identify the most effective antifungal treatment. Results typically take a few days to a week, depending on fungal growth.
