Community Healthcare Clinics - Labtests
Community Healthcare Clinics offers a wide range of lab tests and diagnostic services.
Culture & Sensitivity (Throat Swab)
The Culture & Sensitivity (Throat Swab) test is a diagnostic procedure used to detect and identify microorganisms, such as bacteria or fungi, that may be causing throat infections. It also determines the sensitivity of these pathogens to antibiotics, aiding in selecting the most effective treatment.
Culture & Sensitivity (Urine)
The Culture & Sensitivity (Urine) test is a diagnostic laboratory procedure used to detect, identify, and assess the sensitivity of bacteria or fungi present in a urine sample. It is primarily used to diagnose urinary tract infections (UTIs) and determine the most effective antibiotic or antifungal treatment.
Culture & Sensitivity (Wound Swab)
Culture & Sensitivity (Wound Swab) is a laboratory test used to detect and identify bacteria or fungi present in a wound and determine their susceptibility to specific antibiotics or antifungal agents. This test helps guide effective treatment for wound infections.
Culture & Sensivity - Bone Marrow
The Culture & Sensitivity - Bone Marrow test is a laboratory procedure used to identify infections that may be affecting the bone marrow and to determine the most appropriate antibiotics or antifungal agents for treatment. It involves taking a sample of bone marrow and culturing it to detect the presence of bacteria, fungi, or other microorganisms that might be causing an infection.
Culture & Sensivity (Anaerobic)
Culture and Sensitivity (Anaerobic) is a laboratory test used to detect and identify anaerobic bacteria that may be causing an infection, and to determine which antibiotics are most effective in treating the infection. The test is specifically focused on anaerobic organisms, which are bacteria that can grow and multiply in environments without oxygen.
Culture & Sensivity (Blood)
The Culture & Sensitivity (Blood) test is a laboratory procedure used to identify the presence of infection-causing microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, or viruses) in the blood and determine the most effective treatment by testing the sensitivity of these microorganisms to different antibiotics or antifungal medications. This test is critical for diagnosing sepsis and other bloodstream infections.
Culture & Sensivity (HVS)
The Culture & Sensitivity (HVS) test is a diagnostic laboratory procedure used to detect and identify microorganisms, such as bacteria or fungi, in a sample taken from the high vaginal swab (HVS). It is commonly used to diagnose infections in the female genital tract, particularly when symptoms such as vaginal discharge, itching, burning, or pelvic pain are present. This test also helps determine which antibiotics or antifungal treatments are most effective in treating the identified infection.
Culture & Sensivity (Lt. Ear Swab)
The Culture & Sensitivity (Lt. Ear Swab) test is a diagnostic procedure used to detect the presence of infection-causing microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, or viruses) in the left ear and determine which antibiotics or antifungal agents will be most effective in treating the infection. This test is often performed when there is suspicion of an ear infection, such as otitis externa (outer ear infection), otitis media (middle ear infection), or other ear-related conditions.
Culture & Sensivity (Stool)
The Culture & Sensitivity (Stool) test is a laboratory procedure used to detect and identify microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, or parasites) in a stool sample, which may be responsible for causing gastrointestinal infections. The "culture" part of the test grows any microorganisms present in the stool sample, while the "sensitivity" part determines which antibiotics or antifungal medications are effective in treating the infection.
Cytology (Malignant Cells)
Cytology (Malignant Cells) refers to the examination of cells collected from various body sites to detect the presence of cancerous or abnormal (malignant) cells. This test is used to identify whether cells have undergone changes that indicate malignancy, which can lead to the diagnosis of cancer.
D-Dimer
D-Dimer is a small protein fragment present in the blood after a blood clot breaks down. It is produced when a blood clot dissolves in a process called fibrinolysis. The presence and level of D-dimer in the blood can be measured through a blood test and is used as a diagnostic tool to evaluate the presence of abnormal clotting or clot breakdown.
Eosinophil Count
The eosinophil count is a blood test that measures the number of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, in a sample of blood. Eosinophils are part of the immune system and play a role in combating parasitic infections, allergic reactions, and inflammatory conditions. This test is commonly included in a complete blood count (CBC) with a differential, which provides a breakdown of the different types of white blood cells in the blood.
