Secondary ID A test code used for billing and in test definitions created prior to November 2011

81602

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

Method Name A short description of the method used to perform the test

Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC)
Antifungals included in the assay are: amphotericin B, anidulafungin, caspofungin fluconazole, 5-flucytosine, itraconazole, micafungin, posaconazole, and voriconazole.
