Histoplasma Quantitative Test Cost AED: 1970.0
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Histoplasma Quantitative Test at a cost of AED 1970.0. This test is used to measure the amount of Histoplasma antigen in a patient’s blood or urine. Histoplasma is a fungus that can cause a respiratory infection known as histoplasmosis.
Test Components
The Histoplasma Quantitative Test includes the following components:
- Fresh tissue biopsy specimens
- Skin biopsy specimen from a patient with disseminated nodular skin lesions
- Tissue specimens from a variety of body sites (brain, skin and soft tissue, eye, bone, lung, cardiac valve, and bone marrow)
- Peripheral blood specimens
- Respiratory secretions
Report Delivery
The report for the Histoplasma Quantitative Test will be delivered via email within 4 working days. If requested, it can also be delivered over the phone within 36 hours.
Method and Test Type
The Histoplasma Quantitative Test is performed using Real Time PCR, which is a molecular technique used to detect and quantify DNA or RNA in a sample. This test specifically focuses on viral infections.
Test Department and Doctor
The Histoplasma Quantitative Test is conducted in our Genetics department and is overseen by our experienced physicians.
Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the Histoplasma Quantitative Test, patients are required to sign a Consent document. It is also important to bring any clinical history of the patient related to Histoplasma infection.
Test Details
The Histoplasma Quantitative Test is a valuable tool in diagnosing and managing histoplasmosis. It measures the concentration of Histoplasma antigen in a patient’s blood or urine. A high concentration indicates an active or recent infection, while a low concentration may suggest a past infection or a false positive result.
The test involves collecting a sample of blood or urine from the patient, which is then sent to our laboratory for analysis. We utilize an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) or a complement fixation test (CFT) to measure the amount of Histoplasma antigen present in the sample. The results are reported as a numerical value, indicating the concentration of Histoplasma antigen.
Interpretation of the test results is done by a healthcare provider in conjunction with the patient’s clinical symptoms, medical history, and other diagnostic tests. The Histoplasma Quantitative Test helps healthcare providers determine the severity of the infection, guide treatment decisions, and monitor the effectiveness of antifungal therapy.
At DNA Labs UAE, we are committed to providing accurate and timely results for the Histoplasma Quantitative Test. Our experienced team of healthcare professionals is dedicated to helping patients diagnose and manage histoplasmosis effectively.

The Histoplasma Quantitative Test is a laboratory test used to measure the amount of Histoplasma antigen in a patient’s blood or urine. Histoplasma is a fungus that can cause a respiratory infection called histoplasmosis. This test is typically used to diagnose and monitor the progress of histoplasmosis in individuals who are at high risk or have symptoms of the infection. During the test, a sample of blood or urine is collected from the patient and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory uses an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) or a complement fixation test (CFT) to measure the amount of Histoplasma antigen present in the sample. The results of the test are reported as a numerical value, indicating the concentration of Histoplasma antigen in the patient’s sample. A high concentration of Histoplasma antigen in the blood or urine indicates an active or recent infection with histoplasmosis. A low concentration may suggest a past infection or a false positive result.
