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

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.
