GENERAL MICROBIOLOGY
Microbiology tests help identify infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. This section of HealthSeba provides educational information about common microbiology laboratory tests used to detect infectious diseases. The content explains test purposes, sample types, and general reporting methods in simple language for health awareness. Microbiology testing plays an important role in diagnosing infections, monitoring treatment response, and preventing disease spread. This page aims to improve understanding of microbiological investigations while encouraging readers to consult qualified doctors for diagnosis and treatment decisions. HealthSeba does not perform laboratory testing and offers information for educational purposes only.
