Overview

Sputum is the mucus or phlegm coughed up from the lungs and respiratory tract. Examining sputum samples aids in diagnosing various respiratory conditions and guiding appropriate treatment. The sputum test by the conventional method involves collecting a sputum sample, spreading it on glass slides, fixing and staining them, and examining the slides under a microscope. This test is used to detect abnormal cellular morphology and microorganisms in respiratory tract samples, aiding in the diagnosis of respiratory conditions such as infections and lung cancer. However, additional diagnostic tests may be necessary to confirm certain conditions, and the sputum test has its limitations.
