Interpretive Data

The best evidence for current infection is a significant change on two appropriately timed specimens where both tests are done in the same laboratory at the same time. However, low levels of IgM antibodies may occasionally persist for more than 12 months post-infection.

Component Interpretation
Candida Antibody IgG 0.88 EV or less: Negative - No significant level of detectable Candida albicans antibody.
0.89-0.99 EV: Equivocal - Questionable presence of antibodies. Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful.
1.00 EV or greater: Positive - Antibody to Candida albicans detected, which may indicate a current or past infection.
Candida Antibody IgM 0.88 EV or less: Negative - No significant level of detectable Candida albicans antibody.
0.89-0.99 EV: Equivocal - Questionable presence of antibodies. Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful.
1.00 EV or greater: Positive - Antibody to Candida albicans detected, which may indicate a current or past infection.
Candida Antibody IgA 0.88 EV or less: Negative - No significant level of detectable Candida albicans antibody.
0.89-0.99 EV: Equivocal - Questionable presence of antibodies. Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful.
1.00 EV or greater: Positive - Antibody to Candida albicans detected, which may indicate a current or past infection.
