Fungal infections (Illustrating , Sporothrix , Pseudoallescheria) tend to strike the immunocompromised patient, whereas hospital-acquired infections complicate cystic fibrosis, nasogastric and nasotracheal intubation, and debilitated patients.

In addition to Candida, the test quickly and accurately detects 9 other pathogens: * Acremonium * Aspergillus * Coccidioides immitis * Fusarium * Histoplasma capsulatum * Pneumocystis jiroveci * Saccharomyces cerevisiae * Sporothrix schenckii * Trichosporon To achieve the most effective fungal infection monitoring and ensure the most accurate diagnosis, ViraCor recommends that Aspergillus Galactomannan EIA and Fungitell -D Glucan be used together.
