The specimens to be inspected were made with 10% potassium hydroxide or physiological saline, and clusters of egg-shaped spores and pseudohyphae were observed under the microscope. If more pseudohyphae were found, it indicated that Candida was in the pathogenic stage.

2. Staining examination : Gram staining, Congo red staining or PAS staining can be used for microscopic examination. The positive rate is higher than that of direct microscopy. Gram staining, spores and pseudohyphae dyed in blue: Congo red and PAS staining, spores and pseudohyphae dyed red.

3. Isolation and culture : Candida culture can be performed in patients with negative smear test. The test specimens were inoculated on Sabouraud medium under sterile conditions (used in vitro). At the time of inoculation, the test tube culture medium was cut obliquely, and each tube was inoculated with 2-3 spots, and each sample was inoculated with 2 tubes. The medium was incubated in a 37 ° C incubator for 24-48 hours, and a large number of milky white colonies were observed.
