How is the Candida blood test different from large commercial labs?

  • Vibrant uses chemiluminescence microarray technology with peptide antigens, allowing detection of antibodies against specific Candida proteins. This can increase sensitivity and pick up low-level exposures/immune responses earlier.
  • Interpretation needs context: symptom correlation, stool/urine organic acids (like arabinose, tartaric acid), and clinical history.
