Pan Fungal Quantitative Test
Introduction
The Pan Fungal Quantitative Test is a vital diagnostic procedure designed to detect and quantify fungal infections across various tissues in the body. This test plays a critical role in identifying fungal pathogens that may cause serious infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. With a turnaround time of just four working days, this test ensures timely results, empowering both patients and healthcare providers to make informed decisions about treatment.
What the Test Measures
This test measures the presence and quantity of fungal organisms in various sample types, including fresh tissue biopsy specimens, skin biopsy specimens from patients with disseminated nodular skin lesions, and tissue specimens from diverse body sites such as the brain, skin, soft tissue, eye, bone, lung, cardiac valve, and bone marrow. It utilizes the Real Time RT-PCR method, which is highly sensitive and specific for detecting fungal DNA.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Individuals experiencing symptoms indicative of fungal infections, such as persistent fever, unexplained weight loss, or skin lesions, should consider undergoing the Pan Fungal Quantitative Test. Additionally, those with risk factors such as weakened immune systems, recent surgeries, or chronic illnesses are encouraged to get tested to rule out potential fungal infections.
Benefits of Taking the Test

- Accurate quantification of fungal load to assess infection severity.
- Helps healthcare providers tailor treatment strategies based on specific fungal pathogens.
- Reduces the risk of complications associated with untreated fungal infections.
