106411-2
LaboratoryCandida spp. 2 DNA [Cycle Threshold #] in Positive blood culture by NAA with probe detection
Definition
This term represents a test for detecting and quantifying the DNA of multiple Candida species (Candida glabrata, krusei, parapsilosis, and lusitaniae) using probe amplification. The results are reported as a threshold number, indicating the presence and quantity of the Candida DNA in the sample. This method is particularly useful for diagnosing infections caused by these Candida species in clinical settings, as referenced in [PMID: 25183855].
