Description

The "Urine C/S for Fungus Test" stands for Urine Culture and Sensitivity for Fungus. This test is conducted to detect the presence of fungi in the urine sample and to determine which antifungal medications would be effective in treating any fungal infection. It involves collecting a sample of urine and culturing it in a laboratory to allow any fungi present to grow. Once the fungi have grown, they are tested against different antifungal drugs to see which ones inhibit their growth effectively.
