Does fungal can be detected in culture?
What can be done in asking doctor in case culture is positive as mentioned in my last post, for positive test-what were those tests before to proceed.

Well so far the test is negative for TB. A culture could pick up something more than a smear. But it is not likely since they concentrate it. But final results will tell the results for sure. It sounds good so far.

Yes, for Aspergilloma, they use cortisone or a steroid. It is necessary. That is good they are doing to do a culture and it all sounds good.
I hope during the guided surgery they can do the culture of the fungus in the chest. Maybe you can ask that question.
