CandID
IMMY's Real-Time PCR test for the detection of clinically relevant Candida species allows for more timely and accurate diagnosis than traditional culture methodology.
Over the last two decades, Candida has emerged as one of the most important pathogens causing bloodstream infections in both adults and children worldwide, representing up to 9% of all nosocomial bloodstream infections. Candida bloodstream infection (BSI), also called candidemia, is the most common form of Invasive Candidiasis (IC).
