Hello and welcome to HCM,
The interpretation of vaginal swab report is as follows:
The vaginal swab reveales presence of pus cells and the culture shows growth of candida or fungal infection.
Presence of pus cells indicates presence of infection.
Thus, treatment with anti-fungal drugs in needed to clear the fungal infection.
Consult your gynecologist with reports for prescription of anti-fungal drugs.
After completing a course of anti-fungal drugs, a repeat vaginal smear should be done to check that the infection is clear.
Thanks and take care
