## Overview
This test is performed for the microscopic detection of Candida species in vaginal swab specimens. Smear examination helps in the rapid diagnosis of vulvovaginal candidiasis by demonstrating budding yeast cells and pseudohyphae, supporting early and appropriate antifungal management.

## Preparation Required
The patient should preferably avoid vaginal douching, intravaginal medications, antifungal creams, or pessaries for at least 24?48 hours prior to sample collection, if clinically feasible. The sample should ideally not be collected during menstruation unless clinically indicated. Any ongoing or recent antifungal therapy should be mentioned on the test request form, as it may affect smear findings.
