In how many days can you expect the fungal culture test results?

There are very low risks to the fungal culture test. If the sample is taken from your skin, you may experience little soreness or bleeding at the site. If the blood sample was taken, you might have bruising or slight pain in the area where the needle was inserted. But these symptoms will resolve on their own within a few hours.

The fungal culture test is also known as the fungal molecular test, fungal smear test, and potassium hydroxide (KOH MOUNT) preparation.

You should get the fungal culture test if you have a lung, skin, or systemic fungal infection.
