Laboratory culture The diagnoses of<unk>  cannot be determined without using culture or microscopic measurements. The laboratory diagnosis of<unk>  involves collected fungi samples areas of infections without contamination. Scraping of the mouth lesions and the ulcers can provide a sample of G. candidum. Samples can also be collected from pus and mucus can be obtained from the feces. Sputum can be searched for the mucoid-like white flakes for further examination. Culturing the cylindrical barrel-shaped or elliptical fungi in considerable numbers in oral lesions is an indicator that a patient may have<unk> . Under the microscope the fungi appears yeast-like and septate branching hyphae that can be broken down into chains or individual arthrospores. Arthrospores appear rectangular with flat or rounded ends. Under the microscope the arthroconidia size range from 6-12μm x 3-6μm. Arthroconidia and coarse true hyphae can be observed can be observed under the microscope. Another identification method for G. candidum is selective isolation method. A selection isolation method based on the fungi tolerance to novobiocin and carbon dioxide can determine if G. candidum is the cause of illness. Diagnostic imaging X-rays can be used to examine the lung tissue, however it can not be used to positively diagnose<unk> . X-rays may show cavitation that is located the walls of the lungs tissues. The lung tissue resemble the early signs of tuberculosis. The results of an x-ray examination of pulmonary<unk>  presents smooth, dense patchy infiltrations and some cavities. Bronchial<unk>  shows peribronchial thickening with fine mottling may be present on middle or basilar pulmonary fields. Bronchial<unk>  usually present itself as non-specific diffuse peribronchical infiltration.
