| name | Yeast [Presence] in Specimen by Gram stain | ||
| description | Yeast qualitation by gram stain. Yeast qualitation reported with microbiology culture results and reported under gram stain. Presence of yeast on gram stain is indicative of fungal infection caused by yeast. Morphologic features of yeast noted on gram stain may assist in identification of the yeast species. Yeast appear as small, refractile oval structures and may or may not be budding. Yeast cells are usually candida albicans [1].
