Performing Lab
Coccidioides Antibody (IgG), Immunodiffusion, CSF
Clinical Use
Order TestUse
Not provided explicitly on the rendered page. A similar CSF panel (complement fixation and immunodiffusion) indicates roles of these assays in detecting Coccidioides antibodies in CSF for diagnosing coccidioidal infections, especially meningitis. In general, detection of IgG via immunodiffusion supports diagnosis of central nervous system involvement by Coccidioides.
