The Beta D Glucan Level (Serum) test measures the concentration of (1→3)-β-D-glucan, a component of fungal cell walls, helping detect invasive fungal infections. Metropolis Healthcare performs this test using highly sensitive assays to support early and accurate diagnosis when clinical suspicion is high. Elevated levels can indicate systemic fungal infection and guide timely antifungal therapy. This non-invasive blood test is especially useful for immunocompromised patients and those with unexplained fever or sepsis.
