Service Providers for Tongue Swab for Fungus
A tongue swab for fungus is a diagnostic test used to detect fungal infections, like oral thrush (candidiasis), on the tongue. The test involves swabbing the surface of the tongue with a sterile cotton swab to collect a sample of fungal cells. No special preparation is needed. Risks are minimal, but mild discomfort may occur. Results show if fungal organisms are present, with a positive result indicating an infection. Conditions like recent antibiotic use or weakened immunity can affect results. Expect a quick, painless procedure, with results typically available in a few days.
