Laboratory

Candida albicans+glabrata+krusei+parapsilosis DNA [Presence] by NAA with probe detection in Positive blood culture

Definition

This term is used for assays that detect but do not distinguish between four common species of Candida. If the result for this test is positive, follow-up testing is recommended to determine the specific species present. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, the GenMark Diagnostics' Pan Candida assay.
