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

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

A Corneal Swab (Lt.) for C/S (Culture and Sensitivity) is a test used to detect infections in the left cornea of the eye.

During the procedure, a sample is taken from the surface of the cornea using a sterile swab. The sample is cultured in a laboratory to grow any bacterial, fungal, or viral organisms that may be causing an infection.

After identifying the pathogen, a sensitivity test is performed to determine which antibiotics or antifungal treatments will be most effective against the infection. This test is crucial for diagnosing conditions like keratitis or corneal ulcers, which can cause symptoms such as pain, redness, discharge, or vision changes.

What to expect & how to prepare

Corneal Swab (Lt.) for C/S is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Corneal Swab (Lt.) for C/S result rather than self-diagnosing.
