Introduction to the Test
The Candida Albicans Detection PCR Test is a highly sensitive diagnostic test designed to detect the presence of Candida albicans, a fungus that can cause infections in humans. This test utilizes Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology, which allows for the rapid and accurate identification of fungal DNA in various biological samples. Early detection of Candida albicans is crucial, as it can lead to severe infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals.
