Culture - lymph node
Definition
Lymph node culture is a laboratory test performed on a lymph node to identify organisms (bacteria, viruses, and fungus) that cause infection.
Alternative Names
Culture - lymph node
Why the Culture - lymph node is Performed
The test may be performed if the cause of swollen glands is not known, and infection is suspected.
How the Culture - lymph node is Performed
A needle aspiration or biopsy of an enlarged lymph node (swollen glands) is obtained. The fluid is placed in culture media and observed for growth in the laboratory. Sometimes special stains are also done.
How to Prepare for the Culture - lymph node
There is no special preparation necessary.
How the Culture - lymph node Will Feel
The site may be numbed with a local anesthetic before the node is aspirated. There may be some pain when the needle is inserted into the lymph node.
Risks
There is a risk of bleeding or infection.
Considerations
Not applicable.
Normal Results
No growth is normal.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormal results indicate that infectious microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, or fungus are present.
Suspicion of atypical mycobacterial infection is an additional condition under which the test may be performed.
