What are the Limitations of a Wet Mount?

Despite its advantages, a wet mount has some limitations:
- Sensitivity: May not detect all cases of infections, particularly if the organism load is low.
- Subjectivity: Interpretation of results can vary based on the experience of the examiner.
- Limited Scope: Cannot identify all types of infections or conditions, sometimes necessitating additional testing like culture or polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
