Description
The Fungal Culture, Bal fluid test is designed to detect fungal infections in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. BAL is a procedure where a small part of the lung is washed with saline, and the fluid is collected for analysis. This test is particularly useful for diagnosing pulmonary fungal infections, especially in immunocompromised patients. It can identify various fungal species, including Aspergillus, Candida, and Pneumocystis. The results guide antifungal treatment decisions and help monitor the effectiveness of therapy in patients with suspected or known fungal lung infections.
