Sputum test - Kakutankensa

Japanese: 喀痰検査 - かくたんけんさ

A test to diagnose lung diseases such as pulmonary tuberculosis and lung cancer. Although the amount, color, and odor can also be used as references, tests for bacteria in sputum and confirmation of tumor cells are usually performed. In the case of bacterial tests, culture tests may be used. In cases where sputum cannot be obtained due to pulmonary tuberculosis, throat fluid or gastric juice may be collected to replace sputum.

肺結核，肺癌などの肺疾患診断のための検査。量，色調，臭気なども参考になるが，喀痰中の細菌の検査，腫瘍(しゅよう)細胞の証明などが通常行われる。細菌検査の場合は，培養試験によることもある。肺結核で喀痰が採れない場合は，咽頭(いんとう)液か胃液を採取，喀痰に代えることがある。
