What is Candida Albicans IgM?

This blood test measures IgM antibodies produced by your immune system specifically in response to Candida Albicans. IgM antibodies are typically the first type of antibody produced during a new or recent infection.

Why is this test important?

Detecting IgM antibodies suggests a current or very recent Candida infection. This test is valuable in diagnosing acute candidiasis, especially in cases where direct detection methods might be less sensitive or when systemic infection is suspected.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
