Service Providers for Synovial Fluid for C/S
A synovial fluid for C/S (Culture and Sensitivity) test is used to identify microbial infections in the joint, such as bacterial arthritis or septic arthritis. The procedure involves collecting a sample of synovial fluid from the affected joint through aspiration. The fluid is then cultured in a laboratory to detect any bacteria, fungi, or other pathogens. Sensitivity testing is performed to determine which antibiotics are effective against the identified organism. This test helps in diagnosing infections and guiding appropriate treatment, with results typically available in 1-3 days.
