Description
The Gram Stain of Bronchial Wash involves microscopic examination of secretions collected from the bronchi during bronchoscopy. It’s used to identify respiratory pathogens, particularly bacteria, in cases of suspected lung infections. The test helps in the rapid diagnosis of conditions like pneumonia or bronchitis. By identifying the type of bacteria present, it guides the choice of antibiotics for treatment. This test is often part of a broader analysis of bronchial wash samples, which may include culture and sensitivity testing for more definitive pathogen identification.
