How Do Doctors Make the Diagnosis?
Labels Fungal Infections
Most superficial fungal infections are diagnosed based on their appearance
and location. A doctor may also take a skin scraping to examine
under the microscope or to culture in a laboratory. Some fungi glow
with a particular color under ultraviolet light, so a doctor may make the
diagnosis by shining such a light on the affected area. Systemic infections
can be diagnosed by collecting a sample of blood, urine, cerebrospinal
fluid, or sputum to culture.
