How long does a culture take?

Postby GtrGrl » Tue Sep 28, 2021 5:03 pm

Hi all, does anyone know how long it takes to get a stool test result back? I’ve been quite out of it previously and can’t remember if it really was 3 days like I seem to recall.

Thanks.

The PCR tests that I have taken give me the results the next day. I guess it depends on the lab.

Thanks Beth!

It’s come back negative, so they still don’t know what’s wrong.
