Abstract:
Diabetic women are significantly more prone to develop vaginitis (both bacterial and fungal) than non diabetic. Among the positive cases predominant bacterial isolate being E. Coli. All fungus positive culture yielded the growth of candida species. Direct wet film preparation of the fungus positive cases revealed only 30% were positive for fungus, thus if candida vaginitis is suspected, the diagnosis cannot be ruled out on the basis of negative direct preparation. More over, diabetics should be advised maintain proper glycaemic control and personal hygiene to get rid of this distressing problem.

Sputum Studies II: Culture and Sensitivity
Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...
