The Panfungal DNA Detection test is a molecular assay designed to identify a broad range of fungal species directly from EDTA blood samples. Using sensitive DNA-based techniques, it helps detect invasive fungal infections that may not be easily identified through routine cultures. This test is especially valuable for immunocompromised patients or those with persistent, unexplained infections where rapid fungal diagnosis is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):
What does the Panfungal DNA Detection test include?
It detects fungal DNA across multiple species, allowing rapid identification of invasive fungal infections.
Who should consider taking this test?
Individuals with suspected systemic fungal infections, especially immunocompromised or critically ill patients.
How is the sample collected?
A blood sample collected in an EDTA tube is used for molecular analysis.
Why is this test preferred over fungal cultures?
It offers faster results and can detect fungi that may not grow well in standard culture conditions.
Can this test confirm invasive fungal disease?
Yes, detecting fungal DNA strongly supports the diagnosis when correlated with clinical findings.
Is the test sensitive for rare fungal species?
Yes, it is designed to pick up a wide range of common and uncommon fungal pathogens.
Does antifungal treatment affect test results?
In some cases, molecular detection may still identify DNA even after antifungal therapy has begun.
How long does it take to receive results?
Turnaround time typically aligns with standard molecular diagnostic processing.
