The Candida Immunoglobulins Profile measures your body’s immune response to Candida albicans. This test can help identify if you have a Candida infection.

The Candida IgA/IgG/IgM test is a comprehensive antibody screening that helps detect Candida infections by measuring different immunoglobulin responses.

Key Components:

Measures three antibody types: • IgA • IgG • IgM

Interpretation Guidelines:

• Positive result (1.00 EV or greater): • Indicates potential Candida infection • May suggest current or past infection • Equivocal result
• (0.89-0.99 EV): • Suggests retesting in 10-14 days
• Negative result (0.88 EV or less): • No significant Candida antibody detected

Clinical Significance: • Helps diagnose invasive candidiasis • Differentiates between recent and past infections • Provides insights into immune system response

Antibody Insights:

• IgG: Indicates past or ongoing infection
• IgM: Suggests more recent/active infection
• IgA: Helps assess mucosal immune response

This test offers a nuanced approach to detecting Candida infections by examining multiple immunological markers.
