Special Instructions

Ensure specimen is properly collected in the specified tubes. Follow storage instructions to maintain sample integrity. Coordinate with the laboratory for any additional confirmatory or reflex tests that may be required based on initial results.

Limitations

The test may not detect very early infections or those where the organism does not elicit a strong immune response, leading to lower antibody levels. Cross-reactions with antibodies from other fungal infections may occur, affecting specificity. Hemolysis, lipemia, or gross bacterial contamination can impact test accuracy, leading to sample rejection.
