Overview
The "Panfungal-DNA detection by PCR & Sanger Sequencing - Pure Culture" is a molecular diagnostic test used to detect the presence of fungal DNA in pure cultures of clinical samples. This test is employed to diagnose fungal infections caused by various fungal species in a specific sample, such as a culture obtained from a skin lesion, nail, tissue biopsy, or other specimen types. The clinical utility of this test lies in its ability to provide a more sensitive and specific approach to identify a wide range of fungal pathogens. Traditional culture methods may have limitations in detecting certain fungal species, but PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing offer a more accurate and comprehensive method for species identification. Timely and accurate identification of the causative fungal species is essential for guiding appropriate antifungal therapy, especially in cases where fungal infections can be difficult to diagnose and treat. This test is an essential tool for healthcare providers in diagnosing fungal infections, allowing for more targeted and effective management of patients with fungal diseases.

Frequently Asked Questions
This test detects the presence of fungal DNA sequences in a pure culture.
This test identifies specific fungal DNA sequences in a pure culture. Hence, this test is done • To diagnose fungal infections accurately: This test helps identify the specific type of fungus causing the infection, aiding in targeted treatment. • To guide appropriate antifungal therapy: The results help determine the most effective antifungal medication for treatment. • To monitor treatment response: Follow-up tests can help assess the effectiveness of antifungal therapy in treating the infection.
This test is recommended when there is suspicion of a fungal infection. Patients who may require this test include those with • Suspected invasive fungal infections. • Persistent or recurrent fungal infections. • Immunocompromised conditions. • Inadequate response to previous antifungal treatment.
Abnormal results indicate the presence of specific fungi associated with various infections.
A small sample from a pure culture will be collected. The sample will be sent to the laboratory for processing.
There are no specific preparations required for this test. However, it is essential to provide accurate clinical information and specimen details to assist in the accurate interpretation of results. Follow any additional instructions provided by your doctor or the laboratory. Please reach out to your healthcare provider for any specific requirements.
Other tests that may be ordered alongside Panfungal-DNA detection include: • Fungal culture: To grow and identify the fungus causing the infection. • Antifungal susceptibility testing: To determine which antifungal medications are most effective against the identified fungus. • Histopathology: Examination of tissue samples to assess fungal invasion.
Panfungal Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Sanger Sequencing test
A fungal infection is a type of infection caused by certain types of fungi. It can affect various parts of the body, such as the skin, nails, respiratory tract, or internal organs, causing a range of symptoms.
