Routine Examination (Body Fluid)

This test measures the presence of pathogenic organisms in body fluids such as blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural fluid, and ascitic fluid. It helps identify the specific organisms causing infections, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. This information is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.

• This test helps identify the causative organisms responsible for an infection.
• By identifying the specific organism causing the infection, doctors can prescribe targeted antimicrobial therapy.
• The test can be used to assess whether treatment is successfully eliminating the pathogenic organisms.
• In some cases, the presence or absence of certain organisms can indicate disease severity or progression.

• Your doctor may recommend the Routine Examination (Body Fluid) test if:
• You have symptoms suggestive of an infection, such as fever, chills, pain, or abnormal discharges.
• You have a known or suspected exposure to infectious diseases.
• You have a weakened immune system due to a medical condition or immunosuppressive medication.
• You are undergoing treatment for an infection and need to monitor its progress.

The interpretation of the Routine Examination (Body Fluid) test results depends on the specific organisms detected and their significance in relation to your symptoms and medical history. Abnormal results may indicate the presence of a pathogenic organism, suggesting an ongoing infection. It is important to discuss your test results with your doctor, who will provide further guidance and recommend appropriate treatment options if needed.

• Your healthcare provider will collect a sample of your body fluid, such as blood, urine, or cerebrospinal fluid.
• The sample will be sent to the laboratory for analysis using microscopy.
• The laboratory technicians will examine the sample under a microscope to identify pathogenic organisms.
• The test does not involve any discomfort, but you may experience mild discomfort during sample collection.

• Follow any specific instructions provided by your doctor regarding fasting, medication, or other restrictions.
• Provide accurate clinical history and sample information on the test request form.
• Ensure that the sample is collected in a sterile leak-proof container as per the provided sampling guidelines.
• Inform your doctor about any recent antibiotic use or ongoing treatments that may affect the test results.

• Microbiology Culture: This test involves growing organisms from the body fluid sample to identify specific strains and determine their antibiotic susceptibility.
• Sensitivity Testing: This test helps identify the most effective antibiotics for treating the infection caused by specific organisms.

Body Fluid Analysis or Clinical Pathology Test

Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by pathogenic organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. They can affect various parts of the body and may lead to symptoms ranging from mild to severe. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential in managing infectious diseases effectively.
