Unit Code 81602:
Antimicrobial Susceptibility Panel, Yeast

Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

Determining in vitro quantitative antifungal susceptibility (minimum

inhibitory concentration; MIC) of nonfastidious yeast.

 

Testing may be warranted to aid in the management of certain

circumstances, such as:

 

 - Refractory oropharyngeal infections due to Candida species in patients

   who appear to be experiencing therapeutic failure with standard agents

   at standard doses

 

- Invasive infections due to Candida species when the utility of azole

  antifungal agents is uncertain (eg, when the infection is due to a non-

  Candida albicans organism)

Special Instructions and Forms Describes specimen collection and preparation information, test algorithms, and other information pertinent to test. Also includes pertinent information and consent forms to be used when requesting a particular test
