CANDIDIASIS DIAGNOSIS |
|
|
Often clinical appearance gives a strong
suggestion about the diagnosis. Generally, a clinician will take a
sample of the vaginal discharge or swab an area of oral plaque, and
then inspect this material under a microscope. Under the microscope,
it is possible to see characteristic forms of yeasts at various
stages in the life cycle.
Fungal blood cultures should be taken for patients suspected of
having deep organ candidiasis. Tissue biopsy may be needed for a
definitive diagnosis. |
