The Candida Antibodies Blood Test measures antibodies in the blood that are associated with Candida, a type of yeast that can cause fungal infections known as candidiasis.

This test may support the investigation or monitoring of suspected Candida infections by identifying the body’s immune response to Candida species. Results should always be interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history and other clinical findings.

Key Information

• Sample type: Blood sample
• Measures: Candida-specific antibodies
• Helps assess immune response to Candida
• May support the investigation and monitoring of candidiasis

Important Notice

A positive antibody result does not necessarily confirm an active Candida infection, while a negative result may not completely exclude one. This test is not usually used alone to diagnose vaginal thrush, oral thrush or invasive candidiasis. Please consult a qualified healthcare professional for appropriate interpretation and further advice.
