Candida albicans Ab.IgA & IgG & IgM panel
Detects three types of antibodies against Candida albicans yeast in your blood.
Why This Biomarker Matters
This panel helps identify active, recent, or chronic candida infection. Results guide treatment decisions for yeast overgrowth, especially in people with weakened immunity.
Overview
This panel detects three types of antibodies (IgA, IgG, and IgM) against Candida albicans, a yeast that normally lives on skin and in the digestive tract. Different antibody types indicate different stages of infection: IgM suggests recent or acute infection, IgG suggests past or chronic exposure, and IgA suggests mucosal exposure. Elevated levels may indicate candida overgrowth, yeast infections, or systemic candidiasis, particularly in immunocompromised individuals.
