Conjunctival Swab (Rt.) for Gram Stain Price in Bangladesh

What is Conjunctival Swab (Rt.) for Gram Stain?

A Conjunctival Swab (Rt.) for Gram Stain is a diagnostic test used to identify bacterial infections in the right eye's conjunctiva, which is the membrane lining the eyelid and covering the white part of the eye.

A sample is collected from the conjunctival sac and then stained using the Gram stain technique, which classifies bacteria into Gram-positive (purple) or Gram-negative (pink) based on their cell wall structure. This test helps detect bacterial pathogens such as Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, or Pseudomonas that may be causing conjunctivitis or other ocular infections.

The results guide appropriate antibiotic treatment based on the type of bacteria identified.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
