Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):
What does the Panfungal DNA Detection (Sputum) test include?
It detects DNA from a wide spectrum of fungal species present in sputum samples using advanced molecular methods.
Who should consider taking this test?
Individuals with chronic respiratory symptoms, suspected fungal lung infections, or weakened immunity.
How is the sputum sample collected?
The patient provides a deep-cough sputum sample, which is then processed for fungal DNA analysis.
Is this test more sensitive than fungal cultures?
Yes, molecular detection often identifies fungi that may not grow or appear in routine culture testing.
Can it diagnose invasive or chronic fungal lung disease?
It supports diagnosis by confirming the presence of fungal DNA, especially when combined with clinical evaluation.
Does ongoing antifungal treatment affect results?
Molecular testing may still detect fungal DNA even after starting antifungal medication.
How fast are the results available?
Reports are usually generated within the standard molecular diagnostics turnaround time.
Is this test useful for rare fungal species?
Yes, it is designed to detect both common and uncommon fungal pathogens involved in respiratory infections.
