Immuno Candida (Immunodiffusion & IgG)
This test requires a blood draw, so please ensure you can refer to a phlebotomist in the clients area before you order this test.The Immuno Candida test is designed to detect precipitating antibodies to the infectious fungus Candida.This test uses FEIA (fluorescence enzyme immunoassay) testing to ensure high sensitivity and specificity in detecting early stages of Candidiasis through specific IgG thus allowing prompt initiation of therapy. Additionally, the Immunodiffusion test is performed: the gold standard to confirm late stage Candidiasis when antibody levels have risen significantly. Immunodiffusion is an approved process for determining Candida cytoplasmic and mannan antigen fractions.
