Candida spp. 1 DNA [Cycle Threshold #] in Positive blood culture by NAA with probe detection

Cand spp. 1 Ct Bld + Qn NAA+prb

Definition

This term represents a test for detecting and quantifying the DNA of multiple Candida species (Candida albicans, tropicalis, dubliniensis, famata, guilliermondii, and kefyr) 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 immunocompromised patients and hospital settings, as referenced in [PMID: 25183855].
