The Galactomannan Aspergillus Antigen Serum Test is a crucial diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of invasive aspergillosis, a serious fungal infection that primarily affects individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those undergoing chemotherapy or organ transplant recipients. This test works by identifying the galactomannan antigen, a polysaccharide component of the Aspergillus cell wall, in the patient’s serum. A positive result indicates exposure to Aspergillus species, necessitating prompt medical intervention to manage the infection effectively.

Administered at DNA Labs UAE, a leading facility in diagnostic and analytical services, the test is priced at 1190 AED.

Test Details:

The GALACTOMANNAN (ASPERGILLUS ANTIGEN) SERUM test is a diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of galactomannan antigen in the blood. Galactomannan is a polysaccharide component found in the cell walls of Aspergillus species, which are common molds that can cause invasive fungal infections in immunocompromised individuals.

This test is primarily used in the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis, a serious and potentially life-threatening infection that can affect the lungs, sinuses, and other organs. It is particularly useful in patients with compromised immune systems, such as those undergoing chemotherapy, organ transplantation, or with HIV/AIDS.

The test involves collecting a blood sample from the patient and analyzing it for the presence of galactomannan antigen using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The test is highly sensitive and can detect even low levels of antigen, aiding in early detection and treatment of the infection.

A positive result indicates the presence of galactomannan antigen in the blood, suggesting an active Aspergillus infection. Further diagnostic tests, such as imaging studies or tissue biopsies, may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis and determine the extent of the infection.

It is important to note that a positive galactomannan test does not necessarily mean the patient has an active infection, as false positives can occur. Therefore, clinical correlation with other diagnostic findings is essential for accurate interpretation of the test results.
