Shop - Aspergillus Galactomannan Antigen

The Aspergillus Galactomannan Antigen test is a laboratory test used to detect the presence of galactomannan, a polysaccharide antigen found in the cell wall of Aspergillus species, which are fungi that can cause serious infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. This test is primarily utilized in the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis, a severe lung infection caused by these fungi. The test is performed on a blood sample, and elevated levels of galactomannan can indicate an active infection. Early detection through this test is crucial for timely treatment and improved outcomes in patients at risk for fungal infections.
