A member asked:
Can you tell me how i could examine a blood sample for fungal infection and how can i make a fungal culture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Laboratory: A special system for examining the blood for fungal infection already exists - I would talk to your doctor about it. There are 'fungal blood cultures' which can check this. Usually when someone has fungus in the blood, they are very sick. An infectious diseases specialist can help answer Qs about this type of infection.
