Service Providers for Umbilical Swab for C/S

The Umbilical Swab for C/S (Culture and Sensitivity) test is used to detect infections in the umbilical area of newborns, particularly in cases of umbilical cord stump infection. A sterile swab is taken from the umbilical region and sent for culture to identify bacteria or fungi. No special preparation is typically required. Risks include mild discomfort during the swabbing process. The test helps determine the specific pathogen causing the infection, allowing for targeted treatment. Poor sample collection or contamination can affect accuracy. Normal activities can be resumed after the test.
