How is Fungus Treated?
Fungus and fungal infections first require a diagnosis, as there are many variations of fungi that can cause diseases in the body. Diagnosis is sometimes accomplished using a fungal culture test, which will use various samples from the body to identify the type of fungus responsible for a given infection. After diagnosis, an appropriate treatment method can be identified. Treatment usually includes the use of antifungal medications.
