Description

Blood Culture Test ek important laboratory test hai jo blood sample ke andar maujood bacteria ya fungi (yeast) ko detect karne ke liye kiya jata hai. Jab kisi infection ke germs bloodstream me enter kar jate hain to is condition ko bloodstream infection (BSI) ya septicemia kaha ja sakta hai. Ye condition serious ho sakti hai aur jaldi diagnosis ki zaroorat hoti hai.

Iske baad doctors antibiotic sensitivity test karwa sakte hain jisse pata chalta hai ke kaunsi antibiotic us specific infection ke against sab se zyada effective hogi.

Ye test aksar un patients me recommend kiya jata hai jin ko high fever, chills, weakness, low blood pressure, ya severe infection ke symptoms hon.
