Conjunctival Swab(Lt.) for C/S Price in Bangladesh

What is Conjunctival Swab(Lt.) for C/S?

A Conjunctival Swab (Lt.) for C/S (Culture and Sensitivity) is a test used to detect and identify bacterial infections in the left eye's conjunctiva.

During the test, a sample is collected from the conjunctival sac and sent to a laboratory for culture. The sample is cultured to grow any bacteria present, which are then identified.

Following identification, a sensitivity test is performed to determine which antibiotics are most effective against the specific bacteria. This test is typically used when there is a suspicion of bacterial conjunctivitis or other eye infections, helping to guide appropriate antibiotic treatment based on the cultured bacteria’s susceptibility.

What to expect & how to prepare

A culture test looks for bacteria or other organisms in a sample and checks which antibiotics act against them. The sample is incubated in the laboratory, so this test needs more time than a routine blood report.

• Antibiotics: tell the laboratory if you have already started an antibiotic — it can change the result. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
• Sample collection: the correct sample and the way it is collected depend on the site being tested; the laboratory will instruct you or collect it for you.
• Timing: culture results take longer than routine tests because the organisms must grow first. Ask the laboratory when your report is expected.

Interpreted together with your symptoms — antibiotic choice should be made by a registered doctor, not from the report alone.
