| COMMENTS | This term represents a test for detecting and quantifying the DNA of multiple Ca ndida species (Candida albicans, tropicalis, dubliniensis, famata, guilliermondi i, and kefyr) using probe amplification. The results are reported as a threshold number, indicating the presence and quantity of the Candida DNA in the sample. This method is particularly useful for diagnosing infections caused by these Can dida species in immunocompromised patients and hospital settings, as referenced in [PMID: 25183855]. |
