Bronchial Washing for Fungus

Bronchial Washing for Fungus is a diagnostic procedure used to identify fungal infections in the lungs. During a bronchoscopy, a sterile saline solution is introduced into the bronchial tubes and suctioned out to collect a sample of mucus and cells. This sample is then sent to a laboratory for fungal culture, where it is tested to identify any fungal pathogens, such as Aspergillus or Histoplasma. The procedure is typically used when a fungal infection is suspected, especially in immunocompromised patients. Risks include infection, bleeding, and discomfort. Results help guide treatment with antifungal medications tailored to the identified pathogen.
